[Dijon], s.n., 1764.

More Details >

500 €

First edition.
Early work by Guyton de Morveau, then a lawyer in the Parliament of Dijon.
This writing on education comes two years after the publication of Emile by Rousseau and one year after the Essay on National Education by Chalotais in the Parliament of Brittany. The Jesuits who until then controlled education in France have just been banished from the kingdom, leaving a vacant space for secular education inspired by the Enlightenment. Even if Guyton de Morveau is still timid in his proposals, he is still classified by Buisson among the leaders of the renovation of pedagogy.
In particular, it offers language teaching less focused on the in-depth study of grammar but more on the practice of the language.
