Abstract

The aim is to explore the conception of human development found in the educational theories of Plato and Rousseau. It is found that the nature of childhood in Rousseau's Emile so resembles the account of child development in Plato's Laws that one may claim that the ideas on human development which they hold in common are so compelling that the differences between them are differences of degree, rather than of kind.
