卢梭《爱弥儿》中“自然教育观”的解读

The Understanding of Natural Education in Rousseau’s Emile

摘要: 本文以《爱弥儿》为基础，结合卢梭的成长经历、所处时代和其他相关著作对其中的“自然教育观念”进行全面而深刻的分析，探寻该观念是否在今天具有可行性。文章主要探讨卢梭对当时一些欧洲教育思想的批判，以及当时思想界对卢梭自然教育观念的批判。卢梭的思想在18世纪欧洲的先进性毋庸置疑，但是今天我们如何把卢梭的思想运用到教育中，这是值得思考的问题。

Abstract: Based on Emile, and taking Rousseau’s personal experience, social environment of his time and his other related works into consideration, this dissertation presents a comprehensive and profound interpretation of Rousseau’s idea of natural education in detail, and also discusses if this concept is still appropriate nowadays. This dissertation mainly focuses on Rousseau’s criticism of some European ideas on education at the time and on others’ criticism of his own ideas. There is no doubt that natural education was progressive in Europe in the Eighteenth Century, but it needs more critical thinking to apply Rousseau’s thoughts to education practices nowadays.
