An Essay Concerning Human Understanding de John Locke

An Essay Concerning Human Understanding

Autor John Locke
en Limba Engleză Paperback
The year is 1690 and the respected philosopher and theologian sets down to deal with the thoughts and conflicts of the day. Those issues are many and the conflict broad and opposing positions are firmly held. Locke sets out to cut through the popular chatter and to think through the volume of consideration in the quest of truth. He is not unsuited to the task, but for one man to make an impact on a generation, on a country and on history is a dubious task for anyone. But as he sets and thinks and writes, somehow the detail and interconnectedness of his reasoning builds a context which will in fact alter history. The year is now 2015 and as I set to reproduce this great work, I am awed by the similarities of our time to the time of this writing. I suppose it is more reasonable to conclude that all times are similar in the confusion of human ideas, of popular trends and of social organizations. What is different is that periodically a Locke or another person of reason is able to articulate it to their generation and it is left to us, generations past, to understand it, apply it and be benefited by it. To this end we attempt to give new birth to these old classical works of the great thinkers. To this end we pray for a continuous expression of truth that challenges the heart and opens the mind. Read on and be blessed. David Fritsche Th. D.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'I must apply my self to Experience; as far as that reaches, I may have certain Knowledge, but no farther.'In An Essay concerning Human Understanding, John Locke sets out his theory of knowledge and how we acquire it. Eschewing doctrines of innate principles and ideas, Locke shows how all our ideas, even the most abstract and complex, are grounded in human experience and attained by sensation of external things or reflection upon our own mental activities. A thorough examination of the communication of ideas through language and the conventions of taking words as signs of ideas paves the way for his penetrating critique of the limitations of ideas and the extent of our knowledge of ourselves, the world, God, and morals.Locke's masterpiece laid the foundation of British empiricism and is of enduring interest to anyone exploring the development of philosophical thought. This sensitive abridgement uses P. H. Nidditch's authoritative text, and together with an illuminating introduction and other features, makes Locke's arguments more accessible. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Notă biografică

John Locke (29 August 1632 - 28 October 1704) was an English philosopher and physician, widely regarded as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers and commonly known as the "Father of Liberalism." Considered one of the first of the British empiricists, following the tradition of Sir Francis Bacon, he is equally important to social contract theory. His work greatly affected the development of epistemology and political philosophy. His writings influenced Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers, as well as the American revolutionaries. His contributions to classical republicanism and liberal theory are reflected in the United States Declaration of Independence. Locke's theory of mind is often cited as the origin of modern conceptions of identity and the self, figuring prominently in the work of later philosophers such as David Hume, Rousseau, and Immanuel Kant. Locke was the first to define the self through a continuity of consciousness. He postulated that, at birth, the mind was a blank slate or tabula rasa. Contrary to Cartesian philosophy based on pre-existing concepts, he maintained that we are born without innate ideas, and that knowledge is instead determined only by experience derived from sense perception. This is now known as empiricism. An example of Locke's belief in empiricism can be seen in his quote, "whatever I write, as soon as I discover it not to be true, my hand shall be the forwardest to throw it into the fire." This shows the ideology of science in his observations in that something must be capable of being tested repeatedly and that nothing is exempt from being disproven. Challenging the work of others, Locke is said to have established the method of introspection, or observing the emotions and behaviours of one's self.
