Emile

The Emile “Life is not just breathing; it is action, the functioning or organs, senses, faculties, every part of us that give consciousness of existence. The man who gets most out of life is not the one who has lived longest, but the one who has felt life most deeply.” (P 15) Rousseau believes that to raise a child it is best to raise them naturally verse socially. He believes that naturally means to be taught …

…have tried many different ways in this society to teach. We are still learning everyday a better way to teach things. I do not agree with Rousseau on they way he wants to teach students. After reading the Emile I know that I won’t just assume that one teaching method is right, I will try many different ways until one works. I know there will be many different teaching styles since everyone learns differently.
