Human Development in Plato and Rousseau: "Training From Childhood in Goodness."

Chambliss, J. J.

Journal of Educational Thought, v13 n2 p96-108 Aug 1979

Comparing the conception of human development found in the educational theories of Plato and Rousseau, it is found that the nature of childhood in Rousseau's "Emile" so resembles the account of child development in Plato's "Laws" that any difference claimed between them must be one of degree.
