11. THE EMILE

work that details Rousseau’s philosophy of
education. It was originally published just
several months after the Social Contract.
12. Education Contibutions
EMILE. The greatest work produced by Rousseau is
Emile. This work is more a tract upon education
under the guise of a story than it is a novel in the
true sense of the word novel. The book describes the
ideal education which prepares Emile and Sophie for
their eventual marriage. The following represents an
outline of the vital educational principles found in
Emile:
1. BOOK ONE. This book deals with the infancy of the child.
2. BOOK TWO. Rousseau describes the education of the child when
the tutor has full responsibility.
13. 3. BOOK THREE. This section describes the
intellectual education of Emile.
4. BOOK FOUR. This section describes the social
education and the religious education of Emile.

15. Other works
Julie or the New Heloise – Julie or the New
Heloise remains one of Rousseau’s popular works,
though it is not a philosophical treatise, but rather a
novel.
Reveries of the Solitary Walker – like of his work, is
apart of a story and part of philosophical treatise.
Rousseau: Judge of Jean Jacques – The most
distinctive feature of this late work, often referred to
simply as the Dialogues, is that it is written in the
form of three dialogues.
