Excerpt from Education Et Heredite: Etude Sociologique Etre raisonnable! Pour bien des parents l'enfant raisonnable est une petite marionnette qui ne doit bouger que si on en tire les fils; il doit avoir des mains pour ne toucher a rien, des yeux pour ne pas petiller de desir a tout ce qu'il voit, des petits pieds pour ne point trotter bruyamment sur le plancher, une langue pour se taire. Beaucoup de gens elevent leurs enfants non pour les enfants memes, mais pour eux. J'ai connu des parents qui ne voulaient pas marier leur fille, afin de ne pas se separer d'elle; d'autres qui ne voulaient pas que leur fils prit tel ou tel metier (par exemple celui de veterinaire) parce que ce metier leur deplaisait a eux, etc. Les memes regles dominaient toute leur conduite envers leurs enfants. C'est l'education egoiste. Il est une autre sorte d'education qui prend pour but non plus le plaisir du pere, mais le plaisir du fils apprecie par le pere. Ainsi un paysan. qui a passe toute sa vie au soleil, considerera comme un devoir d'epargner a son fils le travail de la terre; il l'elevera pour on faire un petit bureaucrate, un pauvre fonctionnaire etouffant dans son bureau, qui s'en ira mourir phtisique dans quelque ville. La vraie education est desinteressee: elle eleve l'enfant pour lui-meme, elle l'eleve aussi et surtout pour la patrie, pour l'humanite entiere.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author delves into the science of sociology and its potential to transform how we approach the study of morality, beauty, and religion. The author deems sociology to be the science of the future and insists that it will revolutionize the way we understand ourselves and our place in society. This groundbreaking work explores the concept of suggestion and its profound impact on our moral development. The author posits that suggestion, whether administered through the power of hypnosis or through normal social interactions, can profoundly shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of the power of suggestion and its potential to modify our behavior and even our very nature. It argues that this power can be harnessed for both good and ill, and that we must be mindful of its influence in order to make informed decisions about our lives and the world around us. The insights provided in this book are invaluable for anyone interested in human behavior, morality, or the power of suggestion.
