For the most part, Rousseau kept me interested by his language (which he uses very thoughtfully and precisely) and by his extreme ideas and scenarios of a child's education/tutorship. Rousseau shows his creativity by analyzing everything down to the smallest detail and this perspective gave me enough lessons to learn.
The part I did not care much for was his last chapter on Sophie--which is a great name for an ideal woman, but she does not live up to her name of wisdom when it comes to her "role ...more
