Letter to M. D'Alembert on Spectacles Letter to M. D'Alembert on Spectacles (French: "Lettre a M. D'Alembert sur les spectacles" ) is a 1758 essay written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in opposition to an article published in the "Encyclopédie" by Jean d'Alembert, that proposed the establishment of a theatre in Geneva. More generally, it is a critical analysis of the effects of culture on morals, that clarifies the links between politics and social life. Rousseau relates the issue of a theatre in Geneva to the broader social context, warning of the potential the theatre has to corrupt the morality in society.
