Features: This book is a popular reading on the educational thought of late medieval England. It is a philosophically rich yet accessible, engaging, and moving book. Except for the shortcomings brought by the era and class, many of its proposals, such as a profound belief in the power of education, the educational responsibilities of parents, and the advocacy of early education, as well as insights into many specific educational practices, remain thought-provoking even today. This book was written by John Locke, a renowned 17th-century British bourgeois philosopher, political thinker, and educator. Despite the limitations of his time and class, his mainstream educational thought is progressive and profound. The author elaborates extensively on issues ranging from health education, early education, moral education, to intellectual education, proposing excellent proposals and offering sound suggestions for practical implementation. The book is written in an accessible, engaging, and moving manner. Three centuries of arguments still offer great inspiration to people today.
