Unit 2: The Enlightenment
"Let the senses be the only guide for the first workings of reason. No book but the world, no teaching but that of fact. The child who reads ceases to think he only reads. He is acquiring words not knowledge…Put problems before him and let him solve them himself. Let him nothing because you have told him, but because he has learnt it for himself. Let him not be taught science, let him discover it. If ever you substitute authority for reason he will cease to reason; he will be a mere plaything of other people’s thoughts." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
