La Filosofía de la educación de Rousseau: el naturalismo eudamonista

Authors

  • Isabel Vilafranca i Manguán

Abstract

Throughout his work, Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) conducted a thorough analysis of human nature from which stem both his political philosophy and the theoretical principles of his education. The Genevan author's contribution was an epistemological shift in contemporary educational thought: a proposal based on the current pursuit of happiness through respect of natural laws. In comparison to realist, rationalist and empiricist discourses, Rousseau advocated an education that does not greatly alter the natural teleological order. Émile, published in 1762, is a turning point in pedagogical discourse that marks the later evolution of educational activity. Rousseau is, apart from being its predecessor, the most faithful representative of pedagogic naturalism.
