    I voted for the Franco-Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

    The Enlightenment philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote works in the field of political and social theory [The Discourses on the Arts and Sciences, A Discourse on Inequality, The Social Contract], autobiographical accounts [Confessions, The Discourses, Reveries of the Solitary Walker], an educational treatise [Emile], an epistolary novel [Julie or, the New Heloise] and smaller works and essays on musical notations and botany.

    Here is the link to my online featured essay on the philosophical viewpoints of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the role of the individual within civil society through the themes of individual sovereignty and individual autonomy:
