Emile. E-book. Formato EPUB. First published in 1762, &quot;Emile&quot; (<i>AKA &quot;On Education&quot;</i>) is a treatise&nbsp;by Jean-Jacques Rousseau on the nature of education as well as the nature of man.&nbsp;<br /><br />Rousseau considered this book to be the best and most important of anything he had written. &quot;Emile&quot; was banned in Paris and Geneva, and publicly burned in the year of its release. This was due to a particular section of the book called, &ldquo;<i>Profession of Faith of the Savoyard Vicar</i>.&rdquo; During this rather well-received chapter, Rousseau insists that God and religion should be discovered freely, and should not be preached to small children. This infuriated the eighteenth-century church and clergymen, who considered and questioning or critique of their religion as a direct threat. The irony of this is that Rousseau famously considered himself a devout Christian for his entire life, unlike so many of his fellow contemporary philosophers, many of whom were secular or even atheists. &quot;Emile,&quot;&nbsp;however, became the inspiration for what eventually became a new national education system during the French Revolution.
