Rousseau borrows upon the philosophical method of exploring ideas through theoretical narratives and places his discussion of education onto his fictional subject, young Emile. However, it is undeniable that Rousseau’s natural education thought played an important role in opposing the feudal thought at that time and made a great contribution to the development of pedagogy in later generations. Despite receiving harsh criticism since its publication, Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Emile, or On Education remains an interesting exploration of philosophy. Finally, it comes to the conclusion that Rousseau’s view of natural education is based on the criticism of feudal education and has the limitations of the times and revolutionary radicalization to a certain extent.
