Description

"Rousseau had incorporated the educational ideas of the great philosophers who came before him: Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and John Locke; Rousseau likewise inspired the educational theory of a series of great philosophers who came after him: Mary Wollstonecraft, John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, John Dewey, B.F. Skinner, and A.S. Neill. Rousseau’s Émile is the center-point, the touchstone, in an extraordinary tradition. It asks a question that is still of burning relevance today: What is the best way to educate our children, the future of our civilization? One way to gain perspective on the current situation is to transplant Émile from eighteenth century France to twenty-first-century America. What light can Emile shed on the American education system? The modern-day, American Emile brings readers in contact with the ideas of Rousseau himself, along with those of his four antecedents and six successors." -- from guidebook to novel, page 1.
