When it appeared in 1762 it caused a great scandal. When he wrote his book Émile, he wrote about his ideas on education and about the role of the society it has on children. Maria Montessori was also inspired by Rousseau ways of teaching in fact, in 1906 she opened a school named Casa dei Bambini where she believed that education helps to bring out the inner individuality of the children and that nature shows children new experiences. He was a lover of nature thus, his teaching consisted also on appreciation of nature. Through his book Émile he wrote about all of his concerns on the child and his aims on education. Hence, he became the inventor of child-centre education. He reversed the universal order, his educational theory consisted of the study of nature of the child. He saw the child as different to the adult, innocent and vulnerable who deserve to be happy and to be free. Consequently, Rousseau wanted to liberate the child.
