ABSTRACT

Labor education is an important part of Rousseau's educational thought. From the perspective of Citizen molding, its function includes two aspects: On the one hand, labor education is a way for Emile experiencing natural freedom; on the other hand, labor education is an important way for Emile to cultivate social freedom. There are two requirements in the process of labor education: First, the implementation of labor education should be carried out through an independent and interesting and practical occupation; Second, the simplicity of the educated in the labor education and the cultivation of their emotional identity. These requirements are relevant to the molding of citizens. Rousseau's thought have important implications for the implementation of today's labor education: The combination of vocational labor and labor education in the way; the combination of perceptual experience and moral identity in the process; the combination of individual standard and social standard in the goal.
