2. [France] Rousseau: "Emile"

Highlight: Emile is a novel educational masterpiece. 1762 was first published in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which caused a sensation in France and western European countries and had a great influence. The educational theory it discussed caused a great revolution in the history of education and was praised as "the natural gospel of education" by Goethe.

In this book, Rousseau opposed the old education system by educating Emile, his supposed educational object, and expounded his thought of "natural education". Rousseau's so-called natural education is to obey the eternal laws of nature and follow the free development of human body and mind.

Its means is life and practice, and advocates the use of physical teaching and intuitive teaching methods, so that children can obtain the knowledge they need from their personal experience of life and practice and through sensory feelings.

Closely related to nature education, Rousseau also advocates educating children on labor and freedom, equality and love, so that they can learn the means of making a living, develop the ability to control freedom and physical strength as soon as possible, and maintain natural habits.

3. [English] John Locke: "Random Talk on Education"

Recommended reason: This is an educational classic with simple philosophy, vivid and touching, which has far-reaching influence on later generations and shaped the thoughts of ordinary people from generation to generation. It is still a must-read book for educators and parents in Europe, America and even the world.

Among the three classic family education books recognized in the west, Random Talk on Education, Emile and The Secret of Childhood, Locke's Random Talk on Education was published the earliest and most clearly: he explicitly proposed to train children in physical, moral and intellectual aspects, and put physical training in the first place.

Locke wrote at the beginning of this book: "A healthy spirit resides in a healthy body." Similar to "tempering the body", Locke suggested that parents cultivate their children's virtue by "strict discipline".

In Emile, The Secret of Childhood and Random Talk on Education, Locke's viewpoint is more rational and Rousseau's viewpoint is more romantic. Montessori inherited Rousseau's romantic but rational viewpoint and provided a "prepared environment" for children's independent activities.
