A review by rclyburn
Emile: Or on Education by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
3.0
Book I: How to raise an infant. Assuming you'll be using a wet nurse. Interesting from a historical, not philosophical perspective. Most racist portion of the book. You can really see the lack of scientific rigor, with Rousseau pulling a random incident and projecting from there.
Book II: Childhood. About raising a child with the principle of liberty at the forefront. Not forcing a child to learn without understanding. I think this is the part that the French rely on in their education system.
Book III: Adolescence. Try to hold off rising passions as much as possible. Can finally actually teach them something! This is the section with the huge faith digression. I really enjoyed this section! It was about obtaining faith via reason rather than religion which really mirrors my own spiritual views.
Book IV: Adulthood. Now passions may reign! This is about how to find a life partner. Delay and be choosy.
Book V: How to raise a woman. Skip this book! Extremely sexist. Basically women are to be raised as to not cuckold men. We also have the courtship of Emile and Sophy. There is a short portion on citizenship which you may find interesting.
