An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding V2 - John Locke - Bog

""An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding V2"" is a philosophical work written by John Locke. The book is a continuation of the first volume and explores the nature of human understanding and knowledge. Locke argues that all knowledge is derived from experience and that there is no innate knowledge or ideas. He also discusses the concept of identity and personal identity, as well as the nature of language and its role in shaping our understanding of the world. Throughout the book, Locke emphasizes the importance of reason and critical thinking in the pursuit of knowledge. The work is considered a foundational text in modern philosophy and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.Secondly, By the PHILOSOPHICAL use of words, I mean such a use of them as may serve to convey the precise notions of things, and to express in general propositions certain and undoubted truths, which the mind may rest upon and be satisfied with in its search after true knowledge. These two uses are very distinct; and a great deal less exactness will serve in the one than in the other, as we shall see in what follows.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
