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

2 voll. in 16, pp. XXIV + 265 + (3); (4) + 292 + (2). Piena pelle coeva con fregi al d. Danni riparati alle cerniere e piccole manc alle cuffie. Angoli dei piatti con segni d'uso. Edizione originale di questa importante opera filosofica, la prima pubblicata e che raccoglie molti temi in seguito sviluppati in altre opere. In quest'opera Condillac rimane molto vicino alle posizioni del suo maestro Locke e accetta con riserve l'idea che la nostra conoscienza derivi da due fonti: la senzazione e la riflessione e il ruolo di quest'ultima e' di trasformare le senzazioni elementari in idee.- L'opera e' suddivisa in due parti, la prima che si occupa delle sensazioni dell'anima, 'des materiaux de nos connoissances' ecc. la seconda parte, poi, si occupa del linguaggio e del metodo.

The first American complete edition an abridged version having been published in Boston in 1794. Folding table at front. 3 vols. 12mo. In 18th century America as it was the age of reason and Enlightenment the colonists needed the justification or rationalization of their disagreement and resultant actions with England citing their immutable rights as Englishmen and quoting the basic English institutions. As the "philosopher of the Enlightenment" Locke's theories and writings were seized upon by the colonists especially with Locke's "doctrine of natural rights" his theories on "life liberty and property" religious toleration and proper representation in government. His writings gave the colonist a firm foundation upon which to base many of their statements. To Locke goes much of the credit for many of the ideas forming the Virginia Declaration of Rights drafted by George Mason. Many of the other states used that constitution as a basis for their own. Locke's advocacy of a "laissez faire" economic policy was shared by Jefferson who agreed with the idea that the "government is best which governs least" Cohen "American Thought" p. 132. The conclusion reached in the "Essay" "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 can of some extent control our own destiny" summarizes American intent and beliefs.
