For the argument that Rousseau was an enabling influence rather than a shaping one, see Felicita Munzel, Kant’s Conception of Moral Character (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1999), 48. For a similar argument (and a telling one against the primacy of the influence of Hume), see Susan Shell, The Embodiment of Reason (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1996).
