Note 516 — Chapter III · : THE ASSOCIATIVE SOCIALISTS
R. (Robert) Richards translation
Education is given a very prominent place in Owen’s system, and once we accept his philosophy we realise what an important place it was really bound to have. Education was to make men, just as boots and caps are made. Were it not altogether foreign to our purpose it would be interesting to compare his educational ideals with those of Rousseau as outlined in Émile.
