Università Roma Tre

The course aims to examine the philosophical and pedagogical reflection on educational problems from the modern age to the 20th century. Particular attention will be paid to the theories of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his Emilio or education (1762), which celebrates the birth of the social value of childhood. The theme of initiation into adult life and sentimental education between the 18th and 20th centuries will also be explored. Finally, some aspects of the aims, contents and ambivalences present in the so-called narrated pedagogies will be analysed.
