EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the renowned novel "Emile, ou Traite de l education" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, published in Paris in 1762. In this literary masterpiece, Rousseau, a prominent French political philosopher and educationist of his time (1712-1778), presents an intriguing educational experiment involving the protagonist Emile. The story revolves around Emile's unique upbringing away from other children. In this particular image, we see Emile alongside a priest from Savoy who serves as the author's mouthpiece. The priest is seen passionately advocating for the Theology of Nature, which challenges the prevailing doctrine of Original Sin by assuming that Man is inherently good. This philosophical concept contradicts traditional beliefs and offers an alternative perspective on human nature. The photograph not only showcases the essence of Rousseau's thought-provoking narrative but also highlights his significant contributions to literature and philosophy during the Enlightenment era. It symbolizes an intellectual journey that explores themes such as education, natural goodness, and societal norms. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time through this remarkable print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded of Rousseau's enduring legacy as a profound thinker whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of human nature and education today.
