1760 John LOCKE on Education of Children Philosophy Coste French Laussane 2v SET

“I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.”

– John Locke

After studying medicine under the teaching of Thomas Sydenham, John Locke began his journey of philosophical thinking that would develop into some of his most famous works. In 1693, Locke published a treatise on education entitled ‘Thoughts Concerning Education’. Throughout the 18^th-century it was the most important work on the philosophy of education in England. This work was an extension from ‘Concerning Human Understanding’ in which he describes how to educate the ‘blank slate’ mind described in ‘Human Understanding’.

A rare 1760 Swiss edition of Locke’s famous education treatise, translated into French by Pierre Coste.
