Where can I get a chapter by chapter summary of Rousseau's Discourse on Inequality, Currently cramming in an essay related to it and Spark notes doesn't have it and other sites make you pay. Thanks for the help.

(Also feel free to make this a discussion thread too so this thread serves a greater purpose than just the quick help I need.)

Jacques Derrida's Of Grammatology is the book you're looking for

There's a chapter by chapter summary of Rousseau's Discourse on Inequality in there? Found the Grammatology Pdf and I didn't see Rousseau's work anywhere in the table of contents

Yeah just really looking for the chapter by chapter summary otherwise I gotta spend 2 and a half hours on the audio book (and I'm very pressed on time) because all the summaries I see are really short general overviews that aren't chapter by chapter

Do you mean a summary of the parts?

bc Sparknotes has a summary of the letter to geneva, Preface and first and second part, all of which compose the full text. The discourse on Inequality isn't divided into chapters.

Sparknotes will undoubtedly contain mild to moderate inaccuracies, but if you're not willing to spend two hours on an audiobook then you probably aren't that bothered

Well yes, that's what I meant. But sparknotes' summaries of the parts are so short that I'd like something more meaty.

I'd like to have something that would take about 30-45 minutes to go through and pour over so that I still take in a fair amount of detail but don't have to spend 2:40 minutes on the audiobook.

Or maybe less depending on how fast everyone reads, just something 2 or three times as long as the sparknotes thing
