Name written on inside cover. “Émile or On Education” is a major work of French literature written by the philosopher and writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It is a treatise on education, which takes the form of a didactic novel, depicting the life of Émile, a young boy who learns to live in harmony with nature and society.The book is divided into five books, each of which corresponds to a stage in Émile's life. Rousseau sets out his vision of education and criticizes the traditional education of the time, which he considers artificial and disconnected from the nature and needs of children.In "Émile or On Education", Rousseau advocates an education based on observation and experience, which would allow the child to develop freely and become an autonomous and responsible being. He emphasizes the importance of nature in education, and recommends the teaching of music, dance and drawing to develop the child's sensitivity and creativity.The book was controversial at the time of its publication, due to its innovative ideas on education and its criticism of the society of its time. It also influenced many subsequent thinkers and educators, and is today considered a founding text of modern pedagogy."Émile or On Education" has also been translated into many languages and has had a major influence on educational ideas in Europe and around the world.
