First published in 1689, "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" is British philosopher John Locke's important and influential exposition on the foundation of human knowledge and understanding. Arranged into four books, the first book begins by rejecting the notion of innate ideas proposed by Descartes and proposes instead that humans are born as blank slates. Book two argues that all knowledge is derived from experience and reflection. Locke also makes the argument for the existence of an intelligent creator or God. Book three addresses language and the unique ability that humans have to assign sounds to meanings and objects and then arrange those words into a language. Locke criticizes the careless use of language by some philosophers and how it can lead to confusion and misunderstanding. Book four is a detailed examination of human knowledge, intuition, mathematics, moral philosophy, natural philosophy, faith, and opinion. Locke's ideas were the basis for the philosophy of Empiricism, influenced the direction of modern philosophy, and inspired the work of other English thinkers, such as David Hume. A compelling and persuasive philosophical work, "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" is a must read for all students of philosophy. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Three of John Locke's finest works, which expound political and religious ideas revolutionary in their time, are presented together in this printing.When Dutch monarch William of Orange ascended to the English throne in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, burning questions over the best form of governance for England were prominent among the intelligentsia of the era. It was a time when England grappled with incremental transition from monarchy to early forms of democracy and voting.In the first treatise of government Locke proceeds to attack and dissect his prominent contemporary Robert Filmer, who was broadly in favour of absolute monarchy under the principle of divine right. The allusions to the Biblical Adam, wherein the monarch can be intimated as a continuation of the first man ever created, are debunked by Locke who asserts that God never asserted that one man had province to rule over all other human beings.

Locke's two groundbreaking treatises regarding sound methods of governance are united in this complete edition.At the time these treatises were written, English politics had undergone decades of upheaval in the wake of the English Civil War. When Dutch monarch William of Orange ascended to the English throne in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, burning questions over the best form of governance for England were prominent in the intelligentsia of the era. It was a time when England grappled with its incremental transition from monarchy to early forms of democracy and right to vote, where dynastic monarchy and religious theory still held considerable power over the formation of the state. Lauded as a classic of political philosophy, the treatises by Locke are a common requirement in various educational courses concerning political science and philosophy to this day.

John Locke (1632-1704) war ein einflussreicher englischer Philosoph und Vordenker der Aufklärung. In seinem aus vier Büchern bestehenden Hauptwerk Ein Versuch über den menschlichen Verstand untersuchte Locke den Ursprung, die Gewissheit und den Umfang menschlichen Wissens in Abgrenzung zu Glauben, Meinen und Vermuten. Ausgangspunkt war einerseits Lockes scholastische Ausbildung in Oxford auf Basis des in England vorherrschenden Nominalismus. Andererseits hatte er sich in seinem vierjährigen Frankreichaufenthalt intensiv mit Descartes und dessen Vorstellung eingeborener Ideen auseinandergesetzt. Entsprechend untersuchte Locke im ersten Buch zunächst den Ursprung der Ideen und entwickelte eine Vielzahl pragmatischer Argumente zur Ablehnung eingeborener Ideen. Seine Grundthese lautete: Nihil est in intellectu quod non (prius) fuerit in sensibus (Nichts ist im Verstand, was nicht vorher in den Sinnen gewesen wäre). Das zweite Buch befasst sich mit dem Zusammenhang der Ideen mit der Erfahrung. Das menschliche Bewusstsein ist bei der Geburt eine tabula rasa, auf das die Erfahrung erst schreibt. Ausgangspunkt der Erkenntnis ist die sinnliche Wahrnehmung. Allerdings war Locke kein Sensualist. Er unterschied äußere Wahrnehmungen (sensations) und innere Wahrnehmungen (reflections). Der nächste Schritt ist im dritten Buch die Untersuchung der Rolle der Sprache, ihres Zusammenhangs mit den Ideen und ihre Bedeutung für das Wissen. Buch vier handelt schließlich von den komplexen (zusammengefassten) Ideen, von den Grenzen des Wissens und dem Verhältnis von Begründung und Glauben. Locke kritisiert den ausschließlichen Ansatz des Ex praecognitis et praeconcessis.
