Of the Conduct of the Understanding (Classic Reprint): With Biography, Critical Opinions, and Explanatory Notes - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Of the Conduct of the Understanding: With Biography, Critical Opinions, and Explanatory Notes
Locke's or rather chapter 'Of the Conduct of the Understanding' though often praised, and occasionally republished in a separate form, has never been edited with notes. It is thought that such assistance as is offered to the student in this edition may cause it to be more widely read and more generally useful.
The testimony accorded to this book by Hallam, in his Introduction to the Literature of Europe, may fittingly occupy a position in its editor's preface: -
'I cannot think any parent or instructor justified in neglecting to put this little treatise in the hands of a boy about the time when the reasoning faculties become developed. It will give him a sober and serious, not flippant or self-conceited, independency of thinking; and, while it teaches how to distrust ourselves and to watch those prejudices which necessarily grow up from one cause or another, will inspire a reasonable confidence in what he has well considered, by taking off a little of that deference to authority which is the more to be regretted in its excess that, like its cousin-german, party-spirit, it is frequently united to loyalty of heart and the generous enthusiasm of youth.'

Of the Conduct of the Understanding: With Biography, Critical Opinions
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how to reason properly, avoid logical fallacies, and cultivate an intellectually curious mindset. Written in the late 17th century by the famed philosopher John Locke, it pre-dates the rise of modern science but remains strikingly relevant today. Locke argues that many of our intellectual shortcomings stem not from a lack of intelligence but rather from bad habits. The book provides insightful and practical guidance on how to build better habits, including how to think for oneself, engage with ideas with an open mind, and how to avoid imposing one's beliefs on others. Timely insights like these make this book a great pick for those looking to improve the quality of their thinking and reasoning skills. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
