published just several months after the Social Contract.
13. EDUCATIONAL CONTIBUTIONS
EMILE. The greatest work produced by Rousseau is
Emile. This work is more a tract upon education
under the guise of a story than it is a novel in the true
sense of the word novel.

the child.
2. BOOK TWO. Rousseau describes the education of
the child when the tutor has full responsibility.
14. 3. BOOK THREE. This section describes the intellectual
education of Emile.

education and the religious education of Emile.

16. OTHER WORKS
JULIE OR THE HELOISE- Julie or the New
Heloise remains one of Rousseau’s popular works,
though it is not a philosophical treatise, but rather a
novel.
REVERIES OF THE SOLITARY WALKER- The Reveries
of the Solitary Walker, like many of Rousseau’s other
works, is part story and part philosophical treatise.
17. ROUSSEAU; JUDGE OF JEAN JACQUES- The most
distinctive feature of this late work, often referred to
simply as the Dialogues, is that it is written in the form
of three dialogues.
