Emile by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
"Emile" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a treatise written in 1762 on education and human nature. Through the story of a boy named Emile and his tutor, Rousseau explores how individuals can preserve their natural goodness while living in corrupt society. The work presents a radical educational philosophy emphasizing physical development, sensory learning, and emotional growth across five books. Banned and burned upon publication for its controversial religious views, it later inspired revolutionary
educational reforms in France and America. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
