Publisher's Synopsis
One of the most important works on education ever written, Émile is a seminal text in the development of modern pedagogy. In this collection of extracts from the first three books of Émile, Jean-Jacques Rousseau lays out his groundbreaking theories on the role of education in society, the nature of childhood development, and the importance of individual freedom and autonomy. As relevant today as it was in the 18th century, Émile is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of education or the philosophy of human development.
