The definitive translation of Rousseau's treatise on Education. As with many of Rousseau's works, the Emile is a controversial account of educating the young that remains relevant to current discussions regarding the purpose and method of modern education.

Bloom's Introduction also serves as a general discussion of Rousseau's thought as a whole.
