Résumé
Jean-Pierre Le Bouler : J. -J. Rousseau as lexicographer. The fragment by Rousseau beginning with the words " danger, risk, peril " is a preparatory note for the Social Contract, dating probably from the beginning of 1761. After compering it with the article signed by d'Alembert in the Encyclopédie, the author concludes that Rousseau was attempting to compete with the author of the article ' Synonyms ', in the hope that he would finally be recognised as a political theorist who was concerned with precision.
