Written in reaction to the stultifying system of rote learning and memorization prevalent throughout Europe in Rousseau's time, Emile is a utopian vision of child-centered education, full of the sentiments of Romanticism, which Rousseau himself inspired. Imagining a typical boy named Emile, Rousseau creates an ideal model of one-on-one tutelage from infancy to manhood with himself as the child's mentor. Everything is good as it comes from the hands of the Author of Nature; but everything degenerates in the hands of man. This is the first of many provocative statements that characterize this work and are a hallmark of Rousseau's arresting rhetoric. As in so many of his other famous works, here too Rousseau asserts his main thesis that human beings by nature are good; it is only the distorting influences of civilization that have corrupted them. If this is true, then in educating children one must do nothing to interfere with human nature in its natural course. Far from being the chief means by which society inculcates its rules and principles, education should be the method of helping youths discover the inherent truths of their own human nature. From infancy to young adulthood learning should come purely from personal experience. Rather than imparting facts, teachers should foster self-discovery, so that knowledge is acquired through following innate curiosity, not vicariously through the statements of others. Educators as well as students of philosophy will find much to admire in Rousseau's original and still radical ideas.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49534514692369,"sku":"GOR004684176","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2070329089.jpg?v=1751349449"},{"product_id":"confessions-livr-1-a-4-book-j-rousseau-9782070403738","title":"Confessions Livr 1 a 4","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50500970250513,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50500970676497,"sku":"GOR004868294","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51552464634129,"sku":"CIN2070403734VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52770629157137,"sku":"CIN2070372693G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2070403734.jpg?v=1751349495"},{"product_id":"vie-de-saint-feuillien-eveque-et-martir-book-j-rousseau-9781148156866","title":"La Vie De Saint Feuillien, Evêque Et Martir","description":"\u003cp\u003eDécouvrez la vie inspirante de Saint Feuillien, évêque et martyr, à travers cette biographie détaillée par J Rousseau.
