- Title

- Abstract
One of the first French political thinkers interested in the matters of colonialism and the attitude towards the Other, Jean-Jacques Rousseau reemerges in the theoretical debates in the Third French Republic at the end of the 19 century. The myth of the Noble Savage (le bon sauvage), the innocent and joyous individual, sheltered from the degradation of the western world, creation of the Enlightenment utopist literature, is modeled according to the new necessities of the colonial propaganda. For the new nationalist and colonial movement emerging in French Indochina, Rousseau becomes a reference in the fight for the modernization of the traditional colonial society.
