After studying medicine under the teaching of Thomas Sydenham, John Locke began his journey of philosophical thinking that would develop into some of his most famous works. In 1693, Locke published a treatise on education entitled 'Thoughts Concerning Education'. Throughout the 18th-century it was the most important work on the philosophy of education in England. This work was an extension from 'Concerning Human Understanding' in which he describes how to educate the 'blank slate' mind described in 'Human Understanding'.
A rare 1732 edition of Locke's famous education treatise.
