John Locke Bibliography No.584 - "A pirated edition published in Switzerland" / Not in Y; copies at Univ. of Michigan and Illinois "Some Thoughts Concerning Education" is a 1693 treatise on the education of gentlemen written by the English philosopher John Locke. For over a century it was the most important philosophical work on education in England. It was translated into almost all of the major written European languages during the eighteenth century and nearly every European writer on education after Locke including Jean-Jacques Rousseau acknowledged its influence. In his Essay Concerning Human Understanding 1690 Locke outlined a new theory of mind contending that the gentleman's mind was a tabula rasa or "blank slate"; that is it did not contain any innate ideas. Some Thoughts Concerning Education explains how to educate that mind using three distinct methods: the development of a healthy body; the formation of a virtuous character; and the choice of an appropriate academic curriculum. Locke wrote the letters that would eventually become Some Thoughts for an aristocratic friend but his advice had a broader appeal since his educational principles suggested anyone could acquire the same kind of character as the aristocrats for whom Locke originally intended the work. Wikipedia __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "De leducation des enfans" étaient le résultat final des années productives de Locke en Hollande. Le travail a commencé par une série de lettres écrites en 1684 à son ami Edward Clarke donnant des conseils sur léducation des enfants de Clarke. Bien quil ne se soit jamais marié Locke semble avoir eu une attirance mutuelle pour les enfants damis - le petit-fils de Shaftesbury le futur 3e comte les enfants de Clarke les jeunes Masham dOates. Les lettres à Clarke étaient pleines de conseils pratiques du médecin pragmatique sur des questions telles que les vêtements et l'alimentation. Locke sinquiétait également du développement moral de lenfant soulignait limportance des habitudes desprit et mettait en garde contre la volonté et «lamour de la domination». Il était moins préoccupé en comparaison avec d'autres auteurs sur l'éducation de proposer un programme détaillé de lecture et d'étude. Les lettres de Locke à Clarke ont servi de base à Quelques réflexions sur léducation. En janvier 1685 il compila des copies des lettres de cette époque mais continua à y ajouter du matériel pendant plusieurs années. Il n'y revint qu'à l'hiver 1689/90 après les manuscrits de Deux traités de gouvernement et Un essai concernant la compréhension humaine avait été envoyée à la presse. Les réflexions sur l'éducation furent achevées en mars 1690 mais Locke ne savait pas s'il devait publier. Finalement il fut convaincu par William Molyneux et le livre parut en juillet 1693. Il s'avéra être l'une de ses uvres les plus populaires Bibliographie de John Locke hardcover

Engraved frontispiece portrait of John Locke by J. Nutting after a painting by S. Brounower. Title page for each volume.<br /> <br /> Seventh and enlarged edition of John Locke’s Essay "Concerning Human Understanding" a philosophical landmark originally published in 1689 although dated 1690.5<br /> <br /> One of the principal sources of empiricism in modern philosophy this essay presents a detailed systematic philosophy of mind and thought and wrestles with fundamental questions about how we think and perceive and it even touches on how we express ourselves through language logic and religious practices. In the introduction entitled 'The Epistle to the Reader' Locke describes how he became involved in his current mode of philosophical thinking. He relates an anecdote about a conversation with friends that made him realize that men often suffer in their pursuit of knowledge because they fail to determine the limits of their understanding. <br /> <br /> The Essay is divided into four books two per volume:<br /> <br /> First volume:<br /> <br /> - Book I is devoted to an attack on nativism or the doctrine of innate ideas. Locke allowed that some ideas are in the mind from an early age but argued that such ideas are furnished by the senses starting in the womb: for instance differences between colors or tastes. If we have a universal understanding of a concept like sweetness it is not because this is an innate idea but because we are all exposed to sweet tastes at an early age. One of Locke's fundamental arguments against innate ideas is the very fact that there is no truth to which all people attest. He took the time to argue against a number of propositions that rationalists offer as universally accepted truth for instance the principle of identity pointing out that at the very least children and idiots are often unaware of these propositions. <br /> <br /> - Book II: Whereas Book I is intended to reject the doctrine of innate ideas proposed by Descartes and the rationalists Book II explains that every idea is derived from experience either by sensation - direct sensory information - or reflection - "the perception of the operations of our own mind within us as it is employed about the ideas it has got". Furthermore Book II is also a systematic argument for the existence of an intelligent being: "Thus from the consideration of ourselves and what we infallibly find in our own constitutions our reason leads us to the knowledge of this certain and evident truth that there is an eternal most powerful and most knowing being; which whether any one will please to call God it matters not!" <br /> <br /> Second volume:<br /> <br /> - Book III focuses on words. Locke connects words to the ideas they signify claiming that man is unique in being able to frame sounds into distinct words and to signify ideas by those words and then that these words are built into language. Chapter ten in this book focuses on "Abuse of Words." Here Locke calls out metaphysicians for making up new words that have no clear meaning. He also criticizes the use of words which are not linked to clear ideas and to those who change the criteria or meaning underlying a term. Thus he uses a discussion of language to demonstrate sloppy thinking. Locke followed the Port-Royal Logique 1662 in numbering among the abuses of language those that he calls "affected obscurity" in chapter 10. Locke complains that such obscurity is caused by for example philosophers who to confuse their readers invoke old terms and give them unexpected meanings or who construct new terms without clearly defining their intent. Writers may also invent such obfuscation to make themselves appear more learned or their ideas more complicated and nuanced or erudite than they actually are. <br /> <br /> - Book IV and last focuses on knowledge in general - that it can be thought of as the sum of ideas and perceptions. Locke discusses the limit of human knowledge and whether knowledge can be said to be accurate or truthful. Thus there is a distinction between what an individual might claim to "know" as part of a system of knowledge and whether or not that claimed knowledge is actual. For example Locke writes at the beginning of Chap. IV Of the Reality of Knowledge: "I doubt not my Reader by this Time may be apt to think that I have been all this while only building a Castle in the Air; and be ready to say to me To what purpose all of this stir Knowledge say you is only the Perception of the Agreement or Disagreement of our own Ideas: but who knows what those Ideas may be . But of what use is all this fine Knowledge of Man's own Imaginations to a Man that enquires after the reality of things It matters now that Mens Fancies are 'tis the Knowledge of Things that is only to be priz'd; 'tis this alone gives a Value to our Reasonings and Preference to one Man's Knowledge over another's that is of Things as they really are and of Dreams and Fancies." In the last chapter of the book Locke introduces the major classification of sciences into physics semiotics and ethics.<br /> <br /> Binding heavily rubbed along edges with closed tears along joints.
