Document Summary

John locke was a key player - learning enhanced through play, said aesop"s fables best to teach children. The way the child is treated will determine who they become. Reading becomes a key tool for educating the child. Want to foster rational values this is why fairy tales were not seen as good reading matter. Icr in the purple jar - to go from irrational to rational. Empiricism - knowledge is gained through experience. Jean-jacques rousseau (1762) emphasizes the potential of childhood. Significant difference from locke; child is innately pure and innocent but the adult world is corrupt (child hasn"t yet been corrupted) Writing wants to nurture and maintain the spirituality. Child is the opposite of the adult (the child has something the adults have lost, they are figure of nostalgia by adult writers) Ideal romantic child is as far away from corrupt cites as possible (usually a peasant in a rural area - not yet corrupted)
