Rousseau's educational thoughts tend to be natural and conform to nature. Human nature is free, and under the social conditions at that time, religious rule is strict, and people are ignorant, just like walking dead. Children receive religious education from birth to learning knowledge, which is a great imprisonment for their thoughts. Although Rousseau overemphasized nature and let children develop naturally, it was extremely radical, but under such a high-pressure feudal rule, this theory was the most powerful resistance.

Rousseau's educational thoughts are inseparable from his philosophical thoughts and political views. Politically, it puts forward the idea that everyone is equal and endowed with human rights. Philosophically, it also shows the view that human nature is good and the moral basis of human beings. These views are closely related to the natural nature in educational thought. Rousseau's educational thought mainly exists in Emile, which puts forward the natural person and shows the educational purpose of naturalism.

Rousseau's educational thought itself was a great blow and resistance to the feudal society at that time. It is precisely because of anti-feudalism that Rousseau's ideological theory has certain limitations and is not fully applicable today. But this does not affect Rousseau's greatness as a brave fighter against feudalism.
