French Enlightenment Thinker: helvetius is the representative of education omnipotence.

The omnipotence of education refers to the educational viewpoint that rationalists in 17 and 18 centuries exaggerated the role of education in determining society and denied the influence of genetic quality differences on human development.

Helvetius, a French materialist, is the representative of the omnipotence of education. In On Man's Rational Ability and Education, he opposes the concept of talent, and thinks that man's talent is equal, and there is no difference in genetic quality. Man is the product of environment and education, and his character, temperament and spirit are the result of education.

He denied the individual differences between people and asserted that the formation of people is only the result of education, and the intellectual differences between people are only caused by education, that is, "what kind of people are educated will become what kind of people."

Helvetius's educational theory, under the historical conditions at that time, reflected the progressive requirements of the emerging bourgeoisie to overthrow the feudal system, but fell into the idealistic historical view that "the will dominates the world".
