Synopsis "An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding, Volume I"

John Locke was one of the greatest Enlightenment thinkers. In the first volume of An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding, Locke masterfully argues against the rationalist idea of innate knowledge. Locke stated, "If we will attentively consider new born children, we shall have little reason to think that they bring many ideas into the world with them." This "blank slate" view encouraged the adoption of the empirical method as the way to practice science and influenced the writings of other key Enlightment philosophers such as David Hume. Alacrity Press is proud to make this work of classic political theory, An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding, Volume I by John Locke available to modern readers.

John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philosopher who laid the foundations of the European Enlightenment. Locke believed that each branch of government should have separate powers, that freedom should be protected from state interference, and that the state should protect its citizens' private property. These ideas greatly influenced the founding fathers of the United States. Locke also proposed a new theory of knowledge acquisition based entirely on experience and reflection.
