Principios filosóficos en el pensamiento de Jean-Jacques Rousseau en su proyecto educativo naturalista.

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to analyze the philosophical foundations of Jacques Rousseau's naturalistic educational project, with the aim of giving a philosophical contribution to education. The subject through the educational act, can access knowledge that allows him to understand, apprehend and seek the development of the environment in which he is. Thus, education is a necessary fact that helps man to create himself, for his later insertion in the environment. Consequently, it is important that man can develop what is natural in him, allowing the originally good nature to develop naturally, freely and spontaneously. Therefore, education must be carried out according to the spontaneous principles and instincts of human nature, that is, nature is gradually acting on the subject. At first, he realizes that he must solidify his individual self, to then know the relationships with both the individual and the species. It is difficult to imagine man as a single and isolated being. Actually its essence is sociability and it is thanks to it, to life in common, that it has achieved a defense force and has not disappeared. The very fact that human beings have to relate to their otherness, makes the process of education necessary. This one is formed, according to the context in which it is, so that it understands the reality and with it contributes to the best development of the same. Achieving his self-improvement.
