In the Age of Enlightenment, the concepts of legal reforms were often proposed by literary men, publicists and philosophers. The vision of a breakthrough was exciting – they believed in the benevolent power of new, just regulations that would heal humanity, eradicate exploitation and social inequalities. Jean Jacques Rousseau, one of the most famous but controversial thinkers of the era, thought in a similar way. The dissertation concerns his two constitutional projects - written for Corsica (Part I) and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Part II). The first part presents events that decided that the philosopher from Geneva dealt with the issue of a small island in the Mediterranean, trying to consolidate its barely won independence. However, the focus is on the very concepts of the political and social system planned for Corsica by Rousseau, referring them to the previous works of the thinker. His radical solutions expressed his broader views on civilization, the state, law and people. In part II of the article, they will be confronted with the project prepared for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

The article is a continuation of the dissertation on constitutional projects of Jean Jacques Rousseau. The first part concerned his reform work for Corsica, while the second part presents concepts prepared for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Both projects were written for a specific orders – from a Corsican conservative nobleman Mathieu Buttafoco and the Bar Confederates. The comparison of these works, as well as their reference to earlier works by Rousseau, gives the opportunity to look at the evolution of the philosopher’s views, his attempt to adapt them to specific social, political and historical conditions. The less radical tone of the proposals for Poland is noteworthy. It is also necessary to answer the question of what made him want to deal with the affairs of both lands.

Wydaje się, że zarówno u wyspiarskich jak i podróżujących autorów własne wyobrażenia odgrywały zasadniczą rolę w odbiorze wyspiarskiej kultury. Świadectwa te prowadzą do krzyżowania się kultur, a różne perspektywy stanowią szansę wzbogacenia kultury wysp oraz ochrony jej dziedzictwa. Piśmienność jest zarazem świadkiem i strażnikiem kultury. Czy jednakże autor, będący socjologiem, może nam dostarczyć obiektywnej wizji obserwowanej kultury? Jeśli w „Bildungsroman” wpływ kraju na jednostkę jest oczywisty, można także mówić o różnorodności kulturowej intrapersonalnej. Ta wielokulturowość uwalnia od uprzedzeń każdą jednostkę, która obawia się utraty swojej tożsamości. Podtrzymywanie wyspiarskiej kultury może okazać się jedyną drogą do zahamowania jej globalizacji.

It appears that both insulars and travelling authors have interpreted the insular culture through their own depictions. These testimonies lead to cultural cross-fertilization. These diverse perspectives are an opportunity for enrichment of the islands’ cultures and a chance for them to preserve their heritage. Literacy is both a witness and a keeper of a culture. However, can the author, a sociologist, provide an objective view of the observed culture? If, in “Bildungsromans”, the influence of the land on the individual is obvious, the plurality of cultures is also observed within persons. This plurality of culture creates an open mindedness in each individual, which threatens the loss of his unique identity. Maintaining an insular culture may be the only way to delay its globalization.
