Thanks to Warens's intermediation, I got my first "intellectual" job as a tutor in Lyon, teaching the children of a famous illustrated writer of the time. It was the first time that I established contact with enlightened France and that young

I was at the same time a writer, pedagogue, philosopher, musician, botanist and naturalist, and although I was defined as enlightened, I had profound contradictions that separated me from the main representatives of the Enlightenment. Hello everyone, nine days after giving birth, my mother Susana died. I spent most of my childhood with my paternal uncles, for me they were like my parents.

BIOGRAPHY

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit

I was a pupil of a Calvinist, I learned the trade of watchmaker and master engraver, among others. I met one of the most important people in my life: Madame de Warens. Thirteen years older than me, Warens was an enlightened Catholic, noble and aristocrat. I met her when I was 16 and she, who was 29 at the time, welcomed me as one of her protégés.

Once my intellectual career had begun, my first truly serious attempt to form my own thought was in 1742, at the age of 30, when I presented an "innovative" system of musical notation at the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris. A system that, much to my chagrin, was not very successful. The following year I published my research (Dissertation on modern music), with which it began to become known beyond my circles.

At the age of 33, I met Thérèse Levasseur, a dressmaker who could not read or write. With her I formed a family that, unfortunately for both of us, was never happy, because I convinced Thérèse to give our children to the hospice as they were born. At first, I argued that I didn't have the means to support a family, but that wasn't the case.

While the government and the laws provide what is necessary for the well-being and security of men, the sciences, letters and arts, less despotic and perhaps more powerful, spread garlands of flowers on the chains that bind them, annul in men. the original feeling of freedom, for which they seemed to have been born, and they make them love their slavery and turn them into what is usually called civilized people. Necessity created thrones; "The sciences and arts have strengthened them."
