John Locke (1632-1704) – philosopher, physician and political theorist – was one of the most influential thinkers of the Age of Enlightenment. His impact on eighteenth-century educational thought can hardly be overestimated. All his original and highly innovative treatises on pedagogy and the art of teaching were soon after publication translated into the major European languages. Modern educational studies owe a tremendous debt to his pioneering writings on playful learning, the desire for knowledge, and the conduct of a fulfilled life of study. The seminar – held in English – offers a close reading and interpretation of the most important passages of Locke’s “An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690)” and “Some Thoughts Concerning Education” (1693). |
