The Accomplishment And Transcendence Of Self-love

For a long time,people have many misunderstandings about self-love.They think that self-love is just self-serving selfishness.Therefore,they avoid it and do not explore the true meaning of self-love and exclude it from educational vision.In this regard,it is necessary to re-recognize self-love and justify self-love.Based on Rousseau's concept of self-love,this paper first examines his relative description of self-love in the book Emile.Rousseau elaborated on the appearance of people in the state of nature in the other two articles of his "three papers." Barbarians are simple and kind.They love themselves only about themselves,and their desires and needs are very limited.However,with the development of the civilized world,self-love has gradually been alienated.People have become selfish and vain,pursue the prosperity of material wealth,and people are fighting each other.None of this was what Rousseau wanted to see,but humanity did not return.It was obviously not Rousseau's meaning to return to the original state of the past.Now that the state of pure beauty has ceased to exist,education plays its unique role in the pursuit of virtue.The return is long and complex,so that children can only be taught about nature from infancy,early childhood and childhood,develop their bodies,exercise their senses,acquire the necessary labor skills and a small amount of useful knowledge.All in all,let children only deal with things,reduce the desire to develop due to lack of ability,and lay the foundation for the next stage of sympathy education.The next step is to consolidate self-love.Rousseau emphasizes that sympathy is the first desire that comes from self-love.It is the consolidation of self-love.Compassion leads us from focusing on ourselves to focusing on others,from loving ourselves to loving others,and this virtue can be found in any one's heart.The true love of the soul inspired by reason-conscience,so that Amy understood that conscience is all the laws of nature.Amy fell in love with Sophie and became a husband and wife with her.Rousseau believes that in order to be married to Sophie,Amy must not only match nature,but also must understand the civic obligations that must be assumed as a husband.Therefore,the political education of Amy has become a must.Through the occurrence and perfection of Rousseau's self-love,re-recognizing the rational status of self-love,and providing a possible perspective for educators to carry out moral education,that is,starting from self-love,actively and rationally guiding self-love and love.
