Philosophical obviousness: Rousseau's Emile 

The read of “Emile or about the education” of Rousseau is more disappointing than he social contract and other, because it is treated about the education but alone with obviousness: “Since the education is an art is almost impossible that it is manages to his duty, because the successful of this duty isn’t dependent form somebody. Whole that we can make is alone near the sake to reach it…it is the habit of plant, whose we device the right direction. The free plant keeps the inclination that we have given to its, but the its nature hasn’t change the prime direction, and if the plant continues its growth the its extension become again vertical…”; I want notice observe that it is natural, and stop. This concept expressed to mankind is alone competition of obviousness: “The same occurs regard to inclination of men. Until the man is in same state he can keeps those that are from habit and that aren’t scant natural; but when the context is mutated, the habit falls and the natural returns…”; we can consider this example as speculative philosophy, whole founder is Aristotle, in conformity of opinion of Hegel; but Aristotle written his books around the 5th century b. Ch., during the 18th century are necessary more speculative concepts, more deep, less superficial, to explain the superficial consideration of Rousseau is necessary a today example: when we go out from a gala party, for example and we have turned home, where the freedom of language and behavior are predominant, hence we can make everything freely, we use the familiar conducts, and we take again natural our habit; a Italian writer, Luigi Pirandello(1867-1936), written a maxim of human nature, under form of warning: “Remember that for your life you are going to meet much masks and scant faces”; this is you are going to meet much false behaviors and very short sincere persons; it is the obvious, but this expression, very synthetic, is a poetical representation of human kind; this is when we are gone out from gala party, the context is changed, thereupon we leave the mask of polite, of grief, to unpleasant occasions, and we turn to be that we has always been. Rousseau after educes we poor mortal through one exemplar issue: “We born sensible, and from our birth we are impressed from objects around us. When we have the awareness of our sensations, we become incline to search or ovoid the object pleasant or unpleasant, after to convenience and inconvenience…”; other philosophical maxim that we haven’t though, fortunately the Rousseau had explained it! But Emile we must read because we must become that the great exponent of Enlightenment are bearer of the obviousness.Beyond the conceptual errors, for example: “…we must choose between make a man or citizen, because we can’t make both one and other”; yes we can actually we must make both the man and the citizen, and it is possible. Every partial society, strictly unite and concord, is alien from great society. Every patriot is indifferent to strangers, and these aren’t men but nothing to his eyes…”; it is normal also during daily life, to our family, when the door of our home is closed nobody and nothing can interest us. Other step: “The good social institutions are the principal factor of denaturalize the man because it removes the his absolute existence and give a relative, to transfer the I in common unity…”; this step is important because I think that Nietzsche(1844-1900) has took this step to his theory about the Superman. The other error of Rousseau that has took some historical man, as Plutarch but he failed, because he tells: “Attilio Regolo pretended to be Carthaginian because he was propriety of his patrons, and he refused seat in Roman Senate because he was stranger, was necessary that a Carthaginian citizen allowed it…”; he before to come to Rome Carthage ordered to him that he must reach the peace otherwise he is going to kill when he was turned to Carthage;    Regolo come to Rome and during the first Punic war(b.Ch. 264-241), he solicited the Roman Senate don’t accept the peace of Carthage, and turned to enemy city and faced the cruel death.
