According to David Harvey, Rousseau's quote/idea replaced "I think therefore I exist." because "he signalled a radical shift from a rational and instrumentalist to a more consciously aesthetic strategy for realizing Enlightenment aims."
From my perspective, Rousseau's statement touches on something that is less man-centered and more ethereal. God exists because of faith.
