J.-J. Rousseau on Stages of Development - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 282 Development/Stages of development/Education/Rousseau/Höffe: Rousseau makes the adolescent go through a process that leads from natural independence and moral indifference, through self-love (amour de soi) with the passions, to the beginning of a moral person, the virtuous human in the state of natural freedom(1). He divides this process into four phases: (1) In the "Age of Nature" (2 to 12 years) the title character, Emile, grows into a "magnificent animal" whose body and senses are formed by selected action situations. (2) At the "Age of Power" (12 to 15 years) he acquires manual skills and practical intelligence; he learns a carpentry trade but no factual knowledge. His only reading is Daniel Defoe's novel about the adventures of a Robinson Crusoe who is lost on an uninhabited island. (3) In the course of moral and religious education, between the ages of 15 and 20, Émile's self-love turns into charity, and a religious feeling emerges from the observation of nature. Höffe I 283 (4) In (...) the "Education for Love" (20 to 25 years), Émile(1) meets a young woman, Sophie, whom he marries only after a trip to Europe for political education. Development/Education/Pedagogy/Rousseau/Höffe: (...) above all with the basic idea, the inherent right of childhood (...) Rousseau's Emile initiated a revolution in pedagogy. >Education/Rousseau, >Human/Rousseau. 1.
