The Education of Henry Adams

Více o knize

The book explores the educational philosophy of Jean Jacques Rousseau, emphasizing his candid self-examination and the impact of his ideas on 18th-century education. It contrasts Rousseau's openness about personal flaws with the more polished approach of later educators, suggesting that this shift has left a void in modern educational models. The author argues for a focus on the individual learner's energy and potential, advocating for an education that equips students to navigate the world effectively, while acknowledging the complexities of human nature.
