Rousseau and Defoe: A Case of Misguided Advocacy or Paradox par excellence in Eighteenth Century Education?

Leinster-Mackay, D. P.

Journal of Educational Thought, v13 n2 p121-28 Aug 1979

In "Emile," Rousseau recognized the educational value of Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe." Despite this, and despite some common ground between these two writers, their differences in educational outlook outweigh their similarities, especially in the educational debates of their age concerning Nature and Nurture and Private and Public education.
