In the eighteenth century, Eousseau, the greatest of realists, opened the way for entirely- new aims in educa- tion by what has been called " a return to nature." (74) ROUSSEAU. 76 This expression must not, however, be understood to mean that the celebrated French philosopher returned to a natural sj-stem that had previously been followed. While the human being, previous to the humanists and realists, had been looked upon as a more or less preter- natural existence— a being not fully subject to... the or- dinary laws of organic growth and development — and the human mind, at best, as something to be filled, Rousseau wanted man to be looked upon as an organism, and asked that education should be an independent de- velopment of the nature of this organism. In order to accomplish this, he required an absolute return to what he called the natural state of man; that is, the young musf be educated independent of civil relations, current prejudices, dogmatic authority, etc. ; and the aim of the educator must be to produce an absolutely independent human being — fitted, however, to become a member of society — with powers strengthened by individual effort, with convictions and a will dependent only on reason, and free from the passions and prejudices of men.
