Abstract:
This essay seeks to show the diversity of research paths and the multiplicity of languages allowed by the broad idea of human formation. It suggests to the readers the exercise of investigating it by fragments of an epistolary novel, a treatise on education and a letter which seeks to uphold the principles of such a treaty, namely: Julia or the new Heloise, Emile or Education and Letter to Christophe de Beaumont, all by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. For this purpose, it elects the concept of negative education that appears in these writings in the intention to track its gliding from a certain philosophy of education to a formative aesthetics that is understood by the intersection of philosophy, literature and landscape.
Keywords:
Human Formation; Aesthetics; Negative Education
