A critical Evaluation of Rousseaus Concept of Education and Plato

Más información sobre el libro

Rousseau's educational theory champions the idea of allowing children to develop naturally, free from societal constraints, to reach their full potential both educationally and morally. He advocates for a child-centered approach that considers individual needs at each developmental stage. His philosophy, emerging as a critique of contemporary social norms, emphasizes concepts like the Natural State, where communities exist without corruption or class divisions, and the Natural Man, who follows his own nature rather than societal dictates. In contrast, he critiques civilized life as a form of slavery.
