Emile (1762)


 * "Emile" written by Jean Jacques Rousseau
 * Treatise on the nature of education and on the nature of man
 * "Emile, gave much of its attention to the education of boys. The section on the education of girls, centered on the character of Sophie, proved to be one of his most controversial writings; it underlined the importance of mothers in educating their children, but encouraged teaching girls to be entirely subordinate and dependent on their husbands. Rousseau’s book provoked responses from women and men well into the 1800s"
 * "Emile is a novel in which the narrator supervises Emile's education from infancy to adulthood, but the narration is really only the frame for long passages that describe ideals for education. The first four books concern Emile's infancy, childhood, and adolescence. The fifth book, which includes Emile's marriage and expectation of fatherhood, discusses women's education in the context of introducing Emile's wife-to-be, Sophie."
 * Émile was banned in Paris and Geneva and was publicly burned in 1762.
 * "We know nothing of childhoo, and with our mistaken notions the further we advance the further we go astray" http://www.ilt.columbia.edu/pedagogies/rousseau/index.html
 * "Plants are fashioned by cultivation, man by education"
 * "Education comes to us from nature, from men or from things"
