Interpretation Of The Liberal Education Thoughts In "Emile"

Freedom is a beautiful pursuit of individual integrity and perfection,and a positive manifestation of self-will.In the process of self-construction and deconstruction,modernity dissolves individual freedom,and people are no longer their own masters,but gradually they become the appendages of things.The alienation of the spirit makes education difficulty in its evolution.Jean Jacques Rousseau,who lived in the age of enlightenment,clearly realized that there was a crisis of moral corruption behind the progress of science and art brought by rational enlightenment.Through his writings,there are the sounds of his criticism of the enlightenment,from the earliest essay "on science and art",to "on the origin of human inequality and foundation","social contract theory","love" son ","new aurora in accordance with the silk" and confessions,readers can find that Rousseau's intention of returning to nature is to build a natural person in society.And the way to do that is education.Emile's growth story includes Rousseau's education idea,which is meant to show that the purpose of education is not to cultivate the Platonic philosopher-king,nor to the secular Christian,but to be himself.But in the face of the external influences,the conflict between desire and ability constantly shocks people's self-knowledge,making people feel pain.Rousseau,on the basis of exploring human nature,tries to arouse the abundant inner feelings and sensitive feelings of modern people and realize real happy life.To study Rousseau's free education,we first need to grasp the core of his nature and freedom from the macroscopic view,and really appreciate how Rousseau became such a person in the background of the Times.He yearned for freedom,which was hard to bear the emotional indifference and moral despair brought by the secular spirit of the city.Based on his experiences growing up,he was deeply the importance of family education,exploring the process of free life,his love for the emergence of the "son conceived a political utopia blueprint,this also means that education wheneverthere are political.Rousseau's love " in the natural environment,and have different from other children's sensibility and rationality and conscience,Rousseau will love "son of the growth stage is divided into infancy,childhood,adolescence and early adulthood,he was accepted natural education different aspects in physical,sensory,rational and sex…such as moral,he proposed a " negative " education method,to make love,late contact society as much as possible in order to protect his nature from damage,to advocate love " son the ill effects of the faults of their feelings behavior,and then in the experience of the concept of right and wrong.Rousseau believes that the reality of human life world is the real place of education and so on the one hand,he wants to develop natural person in the society,Rousseau,on the other hand,realise strong resistance to the social brings the negative influence of a natural person,this is the paradox of his thoughts.However,we should also see the positive significance of free education,the exploration of this issue is not that if the education of his argument is science,method is feasible,but as the mirror of modernity,we can evaluate themselves,perhaps modern education way is to keep the authenticity of the education idea,making our education going on in the predecessors' thought and modern spiritual care.
