Description

Some Thoughts concerning Education, originally published in 1693, is one of John Locke's major works, the culmination of a decade's writings on the subject. It mainly concerns moral education and its role in creating a responsible adult, and the importance of virtue as a transmitter of culture. But Locke ranges also over such practical topics as the effectiveness of physical punishment, table manners, eating habits, varieties of crying, treatment of servants, and cruelty to animals. He discusses subject-learning, the teaching of foreign languages, and the order of studying different disciplines. Published when Locke was already famous for his doctrines about knowledge, the person, and civil society, this was the most comprehensive and detailed work of its time on education.

Media Reviews

The text now published, essentially the expanded third edition, is very unlikely ever to be superseded ... Readers seeking the perfect text of Locke's book will find it here. * Times Literary Supplement *
'As befits their standing in the Locke community, the Yoltons have also given us a beautifully prepared text ... Again the text is presented with model clarity ... the Yoltons clearly recognize that finally having a good edition of this very important Lockean piece far outweighs the value of any introduction.' * Richard Kroll, University of California, Irvine *
