Some thoughts concerning education

by John Locke

This volume offers two complementary works by John Locke, unabridged, in modernized, annotated texts - the only available edition priced for classroom use. Of interest to students and instructors of philosophy, political theory, and education, these important works shed light on conceptions of reason and freedom essential for understanding Locke's philosophy. With renewed interest in the relations between politics and education, Locke's epistemological and educational writings take on added significance. Read alongside Locke's political writings, these works allow the reader to develop a deeper appreciation of the various interconnected concerns at the core of Lockean liberalism. Grant and Tarcov provide a concise introduction, a note on the texts, and a select bibliography.
