Emile of Jaen Jacques Rousseau-The Value of being near nature

Academic Paper Summary   by:Cathie     Original Author: Jean Jacques Rousseau
ª
 
Since ancient yaers, many plilosophers but also scientists later have defended that being near Nature is mostly valuable.
In a more scietific and circumstantial way Jean Jacques Rousseau describes within Encyclopedy in the 18th century, within his task ''''Emile and the harminious relationship that humans can have with others, throughout one''s return to Nature, one''s poposition in it, since his/her childhood.
Emile is a urban inhabitant that faces problems in his effort of adapting to this kind of life, since his childhood, as well as facing all the derivating conswequences.
Rousseau suggests (in a friendly way) one''s return to natural life, meaning the ''''Mother-Nature'''' because it''s there that one can find again one''s self, and one''s lost identity. Man is part of nature, it''s its own product.
Humans are created to serve nature but also be served by it. Whatever belongs to it and is classified within it, like sun, sea and trees, remain unchanged in it and lienated, diachronically, and keep on belonging to themselves, without losing their authenticity. only man destined to nature feels the immortality of its elements that surround it and becmes calm and peaceful again, just as his soul and spirit coexist..
The alienated soul throughout hard living conditions of the urban life, by giving orders to the spirit, causes  mental ''''unbalance'''', and the heart disorientation. since man keeps on living within material creatures, thus mortal ones, what does not represent its real identity. Let''s remember that Adam and Eva, the first ever human creatures on earth, had been happy inside Paradise.-Sometimes this proces consists in personality destruction, the lost of one''s real indentity, since ones is not assimilated within one''s environment.
Real Culture, (meaning spiritual culture) that gets destrucyed out of nature, within urbanisation and technology of nowadays, becomes a pure ''''gun'''' killing human nature, an ally of masssive production, of nowaday technology, that tends to deneutralise and destroy in general the first one..
\Man becomes victim of his creations themselves, while his own happines is found to be rooted in his real nature, that is ti live near Nature that gave birth to him..and is serving him, as God''s own creation. This procedure consists in the simplification of the complication itself, that consists in one''s own return to nature life, thus
primary era life of world creation, constituting man''s mission in this world, which is man''s mission itself to serve man''s own nature by living near it..
