Rousseau on Universal Education

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 February 2017

Extract

In The Revolution in Education Mortimer J. Adler and Milton Mayer devote some pages to the development of the modern concept of universal education. In this connection they make brief reference to the thought of J. J. Rousseau, in a passage which is so misleading that some comment is required.
