Description
An Essay Concerning Human Understanding by John Locke is a foundational work in modern philosophy that explores how we acquire knowledge. Locke rejects the idea that some knowledge is innate, instead arguing that it comes from sense perceptions and experience, shaped by reason.
Published in 1690, this influential essay offers insights into space and time, free will, and personal identity, among other topics. It provides a comprehensive account of how we acquire everyday, mathematical, scientific, religious, and ethical knowledge.
Penguin Classics has made this important work available in its English translation, offering readers the opportunity to engage with Locke's ideas and their significance for modern thought.
