https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andr%C3%A9-Marie_Amp%C3%A8re&oldid=1211946256[]:
> Jean-Jacques Ampère, a successful merchant, was an admirer of the philosophy of <#Jean-Jacques Rousseau>, whose theories of education (as outlined in his treatise <Emile, or On Education>[Émile]) were the basis of Ampère's education. Rousseau believed that young boys should avoid formal schooling and pursue instead a "direct education from nature." Ampère's father actualized this ideal by allowing his son to educate himself within the walls of his well-stocked library.
