Synopsis

""An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding V1"" is a philosophical treatise written by John Locke. The book is divided into four parts, with the first part discussing innate ideas and the second part focusing on ideas derived from sensation. The third part explores the concept of words and language, while the fourth part delves into knowledge and probability. Throughout the book, Locke argues that all knowledge is derived from experience and that the mind is a blank slate at birth. The book is considered a foundational text in the development of modern empiricism and is widely studied in philosophy and psychology.Besides what we have already mentioned concerning ideas, other considerations belong to them, in reference to THINGS FROM WHENCE THEY ARE TAKEN, or WHICH THEY MAY BE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT; and thus, I think, they may come under a threefold distinction, and are: --First, either real or fantastical; Secondly, adequate or inadequate; Thirdly, true or false.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
