Émile: Or, Treatise on Education | Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Called "the eighteen-century bible of feeling" by Yuval Noah Harari (Homo Deus, page 261)

Emile | Jean Jacques Rousseau

"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. ?

I 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.

PurityofEssence @Chrisalynn Do you think you might have enjoyed this book more if you weren't already aware of Rousseau's disgusting behavior towards his children? 8y
Chrisalynn @PurityofEssence He did have some revolutionary ideas, such as mothers nursing their own children. But no, overall it was just him being pretentious and a know it all. 8y
