EMILE which eontain a moral teaching. They, tG0, had banished in Book II, a child would always identify himأ¦lf with, e.g., the fox who the crow rather than with the crow who loses the cheese, for a child understands nothing atnut vanity and a gxeat deal cheeأ¦. At this later stage Rousseau bas arranged for Emile to haye IRcn de• cejved by confidence men who play his vanity, so that wtrn he reads the fable he will immediately identify with the crow and attain Satire the in which himself. All this is intended to remind bim that he, too, is human and could easily fall victim to the errors made by others. Jt is as though Rousseau had used Aristotle’s discourse on the passions as a text and followed Aristotle’s warning that those who do imagine that the misfortunes others can them are insolent rather than compassion- ate.” The first stage of Emile’s intrآ«Huction to the human condition shows him that most men are the second, that the great. are sufferers and hence equal to the small; the third, that he is a sufferer, saved only by his education. which was a rational deduction in HomEs, thus Ixxcomes self-evident to senti- ments.

IS Although it is impossible to discuss the Pro- fession of Faith of the Savoyard Vicar here, is essential to the under- standing of Rousأ¦au’s intention to underline profound differences the two revelations. The Vicars is presented to the corrupt young Rousseau and never to Emile. Moreover, Vicar teaches the dualism or and soul, which is aben and contradictory to the unity which Emile incamates. In keeping with this, the Vicar is otherworldly and guilt-ridden about his sexual desires, which he whereas Emile is very much of this world and exalts his sexual which are blessed by and lead to blessing Emile’s rewards are on earth, the Vicars in Heaven. The Vicar-is the of the and he is only an oasis in the desert which Rousseau crossed reaching his new Sinai. 1-7. 8 amd z. 18. Pp. z60—a13. 316—334 below. [20]
