Political and Cultural Nationalism in Education. The Ideas of Rousseau and Herder Concerning National Education.
Wiborg, Susanne
Comparative Education, v36 n2 p235-43 May 2000
Jean Jacques Rousseau in France and Johann Gottfied Herder in Germany both emphasized the role of education in building the nation-state. However, Rousseau focused on shaping the national character through citizenship education and political socialization in public schools, while Herder saw a national identity evolving from a common culture and language transmitted and reinforced in school.
