Thoughts

In his nove l Emile of educational philosophy, Rousseau vividly wrote his theory of natural education.He wrote in his book as follows :God makes all things good; man meddles with them and they become evil. he will have nothing as nature made it, not even man himself. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education.This education comes to us from nature, from men, or from things. Thus we are each taught by three masters. if their teaching agrees, he goes straight to his goal, he lives at peace with himself, he is well-educated. As we have just known, nature is the goal . Nature, we are told, is merely habit.The natural man lives for himself; he is the unit, the whole, dependent only on himself and on his like. His theory of natural education is inconceivable to believe at that time,but now ,we all see it as an excellentaccomplishment ,especially for the field of education. As far as I am concerned,nowadays, we must take care of children to be good citizens nature .I appreciatehis theory and hope getting more knowledgefrom him in the future .
