Originally published in 1967. Locke's views in the field of
education had great influence in the UK and abroad; and the aim of
this book is to present them in the context of his general
philosophical thinking, since it was mainly as a philosopher that
Locke won his place in history. Because Locke was at the same time
very much a man of affairs, and an interesting character on his own
merits, the book gives a fairly full account of his life and times.
Some attention is paid to his relations with the brilliant
political adventurer, Lord Shaftesbury, without whom Locke's own
career would have been very different, and might not have offered
the opportunities which led to his writings on education. The book
seeks to emphasize the importance of Locke's empirical approach to
truth - the method of modern science, without which the modern
study of education, and the science of psychology in particular,
would never have developed.
