Description
Alan Bloom's new translation of Emile brings together the translator's gift for journeying between two languages and cultures with Rousseau's perception of the true meaning and significance of education. This result is a clear, readable, and highly engrossing text that offers a new sense of the importance and relevance of Rousseau's thought to us.
Bloom provides a brilliant introduction that relates the structure and themes of the book to our own age's vital preoccupations, particularly in education, but also more generally to concerns about human nature. This translation presents Emile as a prescription for bringing up autonomous, responsible beings - truly democratic human beings.
