I don't know maybe you've got good traduction of him, so this is the reason he appears a good writer to you, but in french, in term of style, he is not good as Voltaire (and this bastard is an asshole, not even a philosopher, with no deepness at all)

Last but not least, Rousseau is not french, he is swiss.

>On voit, à chaque page de la réfutation, que l’auteur n’entend point ou ne veut point entendre l’ouvrage qu’il réfute ; ce qui lui est assurément fort commode, parce que, répondant sans cesse à sa pensée, et jamais à la mienne, il a la plus belle occasion du monde de dire tout ce qu’il lui plaît. D’un autre coté, si ma réplique en devient plus difficile, elle en devient aussi moins nécessaire ; car on n’a jamais ouï dire qu’un peintre qui expose en public un tableau soit obligé de visiter les yeux des spectateurs, et de fournir des lunettes à tous ceux qui en ont besoin.
>D’ailleurs, il n’est pas bien sûr que je me fisse entendre, même en répliquant. Par exemple, je sais, dirais-je à M. Gautier, que nos soldats ne sont point des Réaumur et des Fontenelle ; et c’est tant pis pour eux, pour nous, et surtout pour les ennemis. Je sais qu’ils ne savent rien, qu’ils sont brutaux et grossiers ; et toutefois j’ai dit, et je dis encore, qu’ils sont énervés par les sciences qu’ils méprisent, et par les beaux-arts qu’ils ignorent. C’est un des grands inconvénients de la culture des lettres, que, pour quelques hommes qu’elles éclairent, elles corrompent à pure perte toute une nation. Or, vous voyez bien, monsieur, que ceci ne serait qu’un autre paradoxe inexplicable pour M. Gautier ; pour ce M. Gautier qui me demande fièrement ce que les troupes ont de commun avec les académies ; si les soldats en auront plus de bravoure pour être mal vêtus et mal nourris ; ce que je veux dire en avançant qu’à force d’honorer les talents on néglige les vertus ; et d’autres questions semblables, qui toutes montrent qu’il est impossible d’y répondre intelligiblement au gré de celui qui les fait. Je crois que vous conviendrez que ce n’est pas la peine de m’expliquer une seconde fois pour n’être pas mieux entendu que la première.

>>Dieu lui-même a parlé : écoutez sa révélation. C’est autre chose. Dieu a parlé ! Voilà certes un grand mot. Et à qui a-t-il parlé ? Il a parlé aux hommes. Pourquoi donc n’en ai-je rien entendu ? Il a chargé d’autres hommes de vous rendre sa parole. J’entends ! Ce sont des hommes qui vont me dire ce que Dieu a dit. J’aimerais mieux avoir entendu Dieu lui-même ; il ne lui en aurait pas coûté davantage, et j’aurais été à l’abri de la séduction. Il vous en garantit en manifestant la mission de ses envoyés. Comment cela ? Par des prodiges. Et où sont ces prodiges ? Dans les livres. Et qui a fait ces livres ? Des hommes. Et qui a vu ces prodiges ? Des hommes qui les attestent. Quoi ! Toujours des témoignages humains ! Toujours des hommes qui me rapportent ce que d’autres hommes ont rapporté ! Que d’hommes entre Dieu et moi.

>Avoir un carrosse, un suisse, un maître d'hôtel, c'est être comme tout le monde. Pour être comme tout le monde, il faut être comme très peu de gens. Ceux qui vont à pied ne sont pas du monde ; ce sont des bourgeois, des hommes du peuple, des gens de l'autre monde ; et l'on dirait qu'un carrosse n'est pas tant nécessaire pour se conduire que pour exister. Il y a comme cela une poignée d'impertinents qui ne comptent qu'eux dans tout l'univers, et ve valent guère la peine qu'on les compte, si ce n'est pour le mal qu'ils font. C'est pour eux uniquement que sont faits les spectacles ; ils s'y montrent à la fois comme représentés au milieu du théâtre, et comme représentants aux deux côtés ; ils sont personnages sur la scène, et comédiens sur les bancs. C'est ainsi que la sphère du monde et des auteurs se rétrécit ; c'est ainsi que la scène moderne ne quitte plus son ennuyeuse dignité : on n'y sait plus montrer les hommes qu'en habit doré. Vous diriez que la France n'est peuplée que de comtes et de chevaliers ; et plus le peuple y est misérable et gueux, plus le tableau du peuple y est brillant et magnifique. Cela fait qu'en peignant le ridicule des états qui servent d'exemple aux autres, on le répand plutôt que de l'éteindre, et que le peuple, toujours singe et imitateur des riches, va moins au théâtre pour rire de leurs folies que pour les étudier, et devenir encore plus fous qu'eux en les imitant. Voilà de quoi fut cause Molière lui-même ; il corrigea la cour en infectant la ville : et ses ridicules marquis furent le premier modèle des petits-maîtres bourgeois qui leur succédèrent.

I know, saying he is a bad writer is too much, but his style is still not in top 20 french lit.

>>10395407
La profession de foi du vicaire savoyard, his beautifullest text above all. Thanks for quoting this.

You can see by your examples that Jean-Jacques is good because he says something, he's making a point, demonstrating, in a word philosophizing. It's not poerty tho, not pure style, it serve a purpose.
You'll answer that writers with good style but nothing to say are shit, you'll be right but when you just add style to philosophy it's not lit.

And believe me, I've read a lot of Jean-Jacques (my major in philosophy master was about him) and not all is like this. A lot is far, very far from this.
