Mais il est seul, privé de toute vie sociale, persécuté, rejeté par les intellectuels qui forment le mouvement philosophique. Ses idées sur le progrès, sa profession de foi, et, dans une certaine mesure, ses modèles politiques, sociaux et moraux ont fait de lui l’homme à abattre, l’ennemi du groupe où Diderot, Voltaire et d’Alembert tiennent, avec Grimm, les premiers rôles. Sa situation a ceci d’aliénant qu’elle le mure dans un silence profond qui l’empêche non seulement de se faire entendre mais le prive encore de comprendre ses accusateurs. Avec ses Dialogues, Rousseau crée une surface linguistique, une sociabilité virtuelle qui suit la logique échiquéenne de Philidor grâce à laquelle il va enfin pouvoir comprendre ses ennemis, les écouter et leur parler.      In 1772, Rousseau started writing his Dialogues in the hope of justifying himself. But he was alone, deprived of any social connection, persecuted and rejected by the intellectuals that formed the philosophical movement. His ideas on progress, his profession of faith, and, to a certain extent, his political, social, and moral models had made him an outcast, an enemy of the group of which Diderot, Voltaire, and d’Alembert, along with Grimm, were the key players. His situation was particularly alienating in that he was plunged into a deep silence that not only prevented him from being heard but also deprived him of the ability to understand his accusers. With his Dialogues, Rousseau created a linguistic surface, a virtual sociability that informed the same chess logic as Philidor and with which Rousseau was eventually able to understand his enemies, to listen and talk to them.
