Contemporary blind-panelled speckled calf neatly rebacked and recornered in brown morocco contrasting red morocco lettering-piece gilt. Binding a trifle rubbed and a little marked new endpapers. Small rust hole to G3 without loss of sense else a crisp and clean copy. The third edition but first appearance with this title of a collection of scriptural excerpts collected together thematically which was first published as Graphautarkeia London 1676. The authorship is unknown but it is commonly misattributed to John Locke presumably because his own system of common-placing was outlined in an appendix to Humane understanding - despite this work not being organised in his fashion - to the extent that several nineteenth-century editions featured the philosopher's name in their titles.

Entire volume: 2 582 pp. ten engraved plates. <br/><br/><em>First Latin edition and second overall printing of a selection of Locke's responses to Edward Stillingfleet Bishop of Worcester. These are not only an important source in understanding Locke's late and mature view on religion but are probably the most famous and indebt discussions related to his seminal work "An Essay concerning Humane Understanding" Locke engaged in. The topic is of special interest since: "Religion and Christianity in particular is perhaps the most important influence on the shape of Locke's philosophy". SEP: John Locke. The debate was essentially about Locke's definition of substance in "An Essay.". Stillingfleet argued that Locke advocated against dualism mind - body and thereby opening a door to Unitarianism. Locke did not support this view he however did not clearly reject the notion of Unitarianism and Socinianism. The volume contains the following:1. Bernoulli Jakob. Circinus proportionum nauticus scala loxodromica instructus. Pp. 91-3.2. Bernoulli Johann. Cycloidis primariae segmenta innumera quadraturam recipienta. Pp. 316-20 one engraved plate. 3.

He published books on human understanding and was the first to describe the idea of 'blank state' of the mind. However in 1685 Locke published the first of his 'commonplace books' in which he described the formulas for understanding ideas quotations and sayings. This style of writing proved effective for learners so many other writers began publishing common-place books to build on the popularity established by Locke.</p><p>One such work was "<em>A Commonplace Book to the Holy Bible</em>" – an anonymously published supplement to scripture reading and interpretation. It provides extensive descriptions on the character of God the relationship between Christ and the church on saints and the roles and duties believers.

Modern blue cloth over marbled boards red morocco title-label I1 large tear repaired old owner’s inscription penned over on top of title page J.B.S. Very good. THIRD EDITION; first printed in 1689. Jean Yolton notes that N. Petter Nidditch estimates this edition to be printed in 800 copies. John Locke 1632-1704 philosopher and fellow of the Royal Society was the secretary and close associate of Ashby the first Earl of Shaftsbury and Lord Chancellor. This "Essay" established him as the leading philosopher of his day and together with letters upon religious toleration provided the basis for Whig political thought for the next century and paved the way for the later philosophies of Bentham and the radicals. // Considered the father of English empiricism Locke "was the first to take up the challenge of Bacon and to attempt to estimate critically the certainty and the adequacy of human knowledge when confronted with God and the universe. In the past similar enquiries had been vitiated by the human propensity to extend them beyond the range of human understanding and to invent causes for what it cannot explain. Therefore Locke’s first task was to ascertain ‘the original certainty and extent of human knowledge’ and excluding ‘the physical consideration of the mind to show how far it can comprehend the universe’. His conclusion is that though knowledge must necessarily fall short of complete comprehension it can at least be ‘sufficient’; enough to convince us that we are not at the mercy of pure chance and to some extent control our own destiny." - Printing of the Mind of Man. 164.
