This study aimed to question the meaning and practice of education in society and to think a formation that addresses the wholeness and excellence of the natural faculties to man – including the development of bodily, perceptual, affective and spiritual dimensions, often undervalued in pedagogical practice. The reflection on the formation of man in society, serving the social logic, in contradiction with what is its nature, virtues and natural faculties, is developed by Rousseau in particular in the works Discourse on the Origin and the Foundations of Inequality Among Men and Emile, or On Education, to wich this study is dedicated. Both Works build an accurate and radical criticism to which is the condition and the formation of man in society. The original very condition of human freedom and perfectibility, so with its provisions, virtues and natural faculties are forgotten in the socialization process. By following the logic of the social pact, society and institutions corrupt the original nature of man, alienating nature itself, creating slaves to social spectacle. In Emile, the author develops the foundations and principles for cultivating a negative education in relation to the vices and corruption of society, in order to prevent human nature to degenerate; a path of formation according to the rules of natural education, which includes the provisions, virtues and natural faculties, which includes bodily, affective and spiritual dimensions, allowing the natural flow of childhood to operate and mankind to cultivate excellence in social existence, the pursuit of happiness.
