Emil or On Education

"Emil" is a seminal work that, due to its fundamental significance for our educational understanding of humanity, is essential reading for all educators and caregivers. This is especially true today, as it remains a refreshingly provocative read, just as it was upon its release in 1762, and in this fluid translation, it continues to be a literary event. The educational reforms of the past 200 years are unimaginable without Rousseau's discovery of the child. Today's reader will also not be able to escape this challenge to their pedagogical conscience.
