![]() | John Locke: Prophet of Common Sense Subjects: Behavioral Sciences; Education; Humanities; Philosophy of Education; Philosophy; Psychological Science; Philosophy of Psychology; Continental Philosophy; Epistemology; History of Philosophy; Modern Philosophy (16th Century-18th Century); Philosophy of Psychology; Philosophy of Science; Political Philosophy; Originally published in 1967. Locke's views in the field of education had great influence in the UK and abroad; and the aim of this book is to present them in the context of his general philosophical thinking, since it was mainly as a philosopher that Locke won his place in history. Because Locke was at the same time very much a man of affairs, and an interesting character on his own merits, the book gives a fairly full account of his life and times. Some attention is paid to his relations with the brilliant political adventurer, Lord Shaftesbury, without whom Locke's own career would have been very different, and might not have offered the opportunities which led to his writings on education. |
