Abstract

Emile is Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s work on his educational ideas. The main purpose of this paper is to explore Rousseau's Emile nature education thought and its influence on the development of modern education. This paper mainly uses the method of literature research. With Emile as the bibliography and the social situation of France in the 18th century as the background, this paper analyzes the educational purpose, process, principles and methods of Rousseau's nature education. Finally, it comes to the conclusion that Rousseau’s view of natural education is based on the criticism of feudal education and has the limitations of the times and revolutionary radicalization to a certain extent. However, it is undeniable that Rousseau’s natural education thought played an important role in opposing the feudal thought at that time and made a great contribution to the development of pedagogy in later generations.
