Rousseau proved this. He understood education as "natural education", "human education" and "material education", and the latter two realized the coordination of the three on the basis of following the former.
Rousseau's natural education theory has some extreme views, such as the supremacy of nature, and education is regarded as natural growth. But at that time, this thought had great progressive significance in anti-feudal education. This idea of emphasizing that children are the main body of education opens the precedent of modern educational theory, and his argument initially touches on the role of heredity, environment and education in human development.
Ideas:
Rousseau's social theory contains reflections on human civilization, and he overcame the blind views of enlightenment scholars on social progress. In his first paper, he asked the essay topic of Dijon Academy of Sciences, "Is the revival of science and art helpful to Dunhua customs?" In his view, compared with nature, rationality and natural instinct, civilization is a kind of metamorphosis, even depravity.
In the natural state, human beings live in harmony with nature in the struggle for their own survival, and form the virtue of kindness and simplicity in the relationship with nature. The development of civilization has destroyed these primitive virtues, and people have become more and more intelligent, while private ownership has made people's thoughts worse.
Rousseau called the progress of civilization the "greatest misfortune" of mankind, because all the progress of mankind is constantly making mankind run counter to the original state. So he thinks that "the history of civilization development" is just a "history of human diseases". Rational human beings have lost their primitive and simple sensibility and produced a lot of useless needs. Science and art encourage extravagance and waste, and freedom becomes tyranny.
