Università Roma Tre

The course consists of a basic course and a monographic part. The basic course aims at examining the evolution of the history of ideas on education by analyzing the thought of some amongst the most important authors who dealth with education related issues in the history of Western thought . Particular attention is given to Rousseau's thinking by reading some excerpts from "Emilio", a text which was published in 1762 and revolutionized the thought on education. The monographic part, instead, examines - in the framework of historical studies on sentimental education - the evolution of family relationships, the transition from the extended family to the conjugal-intimate one, and the real educational practices experienced within it between the Eighteenth and the Twentieth Centuries.
