Timeline 2

Ill probably include Aristotle. I looked some information up on him and heres the basic gist:
-Considered habit and reason to be equally important
-Thought Repetition was key
-Balance of theoretical and practical aspects of information taught
-Mentioned importance of play
-Goal was to produce good and virtuous people
Also Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Emile, Or On Education
-Education based upon helping "natural man" survive "corrupt society"
-"Rousseau acknowledges that every society “must choose between making a man or a citizen”[9] and that the best “social institutions are those that best know how to denature man, to take his absolute existence from him in order to give him a relative one and transport the I into the common unity."
-While this sounds a bit extreme, it could be said that this concept is very much in line with the Jesuit ideal of solidarity.
