“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 18th-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’.

 

Perhaps the most intriguing sections found in this work is Locke’s perspectives on goblins, sprites, and the Boogeyman! Locke describes recorded instances of Bloody-Bones being used to scare children into behaving! From this 17th-century printing:

“It being the usual method of servants to awe children and keep them in subjection, by telling them of Raw-Head and Bloody-Bones, as carry with them the ideas of some hurtful terrible things in habiting darkness.” (p. 159)

 

This incredibly rare printing is notable for being one of the earliest printed editions of Locke and includes the desirable text misprint in the dedication. An absolutely incredible printing of Locke’s “Education”!
