Philosophical roots of human development John-Jacques Rousseau Child born with innate ideas and knowledge that unfolds naturally with age Development proceeds through series of stages guided by inborn timetable Innate knowledge includes principles of justice, fairness, conscience Child as a “noble savage” Important conceptual ideas Concept of stages Idea of “maturation”
