Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Education, Religion, Child-rearing, how to live our lifeJJ meanders around education and religion and the best way to live, and as such, with his wonderful eleloquence, it's a highly recommended book; but understanding his life and times would definitely assist the reader in tolerating the meandering fantasy. Certainly solid views on taming Religion, (credited to a Savoyard Vicar), and moderation and common sense living, and the natural wholesome ways on bringing up children leave one stimulated and impressed. But the man who gave all his kids away to a foundling home indulging himself like this in such detail ... got a bit tiresome. Rating:  - Thought provoking and extremely interestingRousseau, by exploring the ideas of a natural education and upbringing, brings into question the very foundations of our current society as we know it. Such things as were the norm at the time (1762), for example: wet nurses are condemned by Rousseau as unfair restrictions on a child's inherent freedom. Engaged in his quest to find the meaning of the 'self', if not of life itself, Rousseau has bestowed a book upon the world that caused me at least to seriously ponder my own upbringing and heritage. Enjoyable, although at times, seemingly rather radical in views,it is a great read, which I thorougly recommend. |
