ABSTRACT

This writing is not written to examine Mercier’s educational theory or philosophy of education. It is rather because the writer has often made contradictory claims throughout his work, we think he is unable establish a coherent system of ideas. In this paper, we focused examining only the fragmentary thoughts of the writer on education that was presented in the work Tableau de Paris. We had to identify the point related to education in the 1780s when this work was written. If the writer tends to deal with public and private habits, dominant thoughts of the time, things that would impress people such as the current situation of Paris in his own work, we can tell that this theory included an idea of the various happenings that have emerged in that era, especially the content related to education. On the other hand, the repeated message throughout the Tableau de Paris inspires community consciousness and patriotism. From a point of view, the work gives an impression that it recorded the history of emotions of the era during the 1780s. However, the history of emotions being stated here is not seen as different from what Rousseau claims. Mercier was strongly influenced by Rousseau, in a way that what Mercier pursued in his work could reflect Rousseau’s idea, which is seen as an example of the virtue of the Republican citizens. It is interesting to note that the virtue of the Republican citizens, which Mercier expressed, almost coincides with the virtue of the citizens which the Revolutionary Government claims immediately after the French Revolution. In this sense, the history of emotions can be said to be consistent from the late 18th century to the French Revolution, and what Rousseau and Mercier have argued about regarding the education is the way of cultivation of the Republican citizens and its methodology.
