About this ebook
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a French philosopher, novelist and essayist whose ideas in the areas of science, art, nature, morality, among many others, greatly influenced the late eighteenth century’s Romantic Naturalism movement. His philosophies explored the virtue of human beings as being good by nature, the corruption of civil society, individual freedom, and in the case of his 1762 treatise on education, “Emile”, allowing children to develop naturally and without the constraint of social conditions. Emile is an imaginary student put forth by Rousseau to illustrate his idea of “negative education”, in other words, education in harmony with a child’s natural capacity through a process of autonomous discovery. Rousseau removes the authoritative, domineering teacher figure, and instead wants mothers to encourage children’s natural tendencies, without coddling or spoiling them. The work was controversial in its own time, but later inspired a new national system of education during the French Revolution, and to some has earned Rousseau the title of “father of modern education”. This edition includes a biographical afterword and follows the translation of Barbara Foxley.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book covering Rousseau's educational views. I don't know if I can support everything he suggests. Following his advice could conceivably either result in a genius or someone incapable of the simplest tasks. Some of what he suggests is extreme, some seems like common sense now, it can be hard to realize how radical some of his advice was given the time the book was written in.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5En este libro se aprecian varios estilos literarios, desde el sermón preconciliar a la novelita rosa, pero destaca sobre todo la matraca de tu cuñado soltero que te dice como tienes que educar a tus hijos. Si aún fuese breve, podría hasta tener su gracia, pero es un ladrillo de un centón de páginas en las que el famoso filósofo, pilar de la civilización occidental, nos demuestra por qué le echaban de cada ciudad en que vivía: por pesado. Un auténtico plasta que he leído por pura fuerza de voluntad. Solo se salva la parte central, la famosa (y, por supuesto hipervalorada) "Profesión de fe del vicario saboyano". Yo creo que esta parte mejora porque no es una ficción literaria, como se suele creer, sino que de verdad es un texto que no ha escrito nuestro inefable padre de la democracia. En fin, entre tanta palabrería de vez en cuando se cuelan algunas gotas de sentido común que evitan que el libro acabe en la papelera.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Eerder losse verzameling van gedachten over alles en nog wat, maar wel met als rode draad de opvoeding van een denkbeeldige jongeling. Zeer verschillend van niveau: soms ronduit traditioneel (vooral in man-vrouwverhouding), preuts (sexuele opvoeding), maar ook vooruitstrevend (zeer kindgericht, opvoeden tot vrijheid, natuurlijkheid en vooral individualiteit). Bij wijlen zeer saai.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Rosseau really did think that Nature could do anything (capitalisation his not mine) up to and including showing how males and females should grow and be educated. Certainly an understandable desire considering the time he lived. The education of Sophie, Emile's wife, was only a small part of the book and I am thankful as this was my least favourite section and showed its age the most.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Tough sledding but worth it. Rousseau is grandfather or even father of historicism, a true revolutionary. Now human history is us making ourselves, we think. My take is in my book Five Paradigms.
