Jean-Jacques+Rousseau

= Jean-Jacques Rousseau=

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a philosopher of the Enlightenment during the 18th Century. He wrote about the nature of man and the social contract, saying that man was born good but corrupted by society. He said that we are born with natural rights, but we lose them to the general will. Rousseau's philosophy says that if we give children freedom and responsibility to learn whatever they want, they will have a greater desire to learn.
