Émile: Or, Treatise on Education | 
bailedAwesome
Called "the eighteen-century bible of feeling" by Yuval Noah Harari (Homo Deus, page 261)
"Rousseau‘s classic work on the philosophy and practice of education. Emile‘s tutor attempts to show how a young person can be brought up to fulfill their innate natural goodness in a corrupt society."
This was also recommended to me by my new socialist friend. Not sure if 1000 pages is worth my time. ?
panI really don't like Rousseau. He was a terrible hypocrite. He wrote a book on how to raise a child yet made his mistress give up all five of their children to a foundling hospital. And he wrote this after this happened.
