About This Item
1735 John LOCKE Essay Concerning Human Understanding Philosophy Tabula Rasa
"I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts."
– John Locke
After studying medicine under the teaching of Thomas Sydenham, John Locke began his journey of philosophical thinking that would develop into his most famous written work. 'An Essay Concerning Human Understanding,' is one of the most important books on the development and cultivation of human understanding and knowledge. It is in this work that Locke first describes the idea of 'blank slate' of the mind or 'tabula rasa.' Locke's 'Essay' is known to have directly influenced famous philosophers such as David Hume and George Berkeley.
This 1735 French edition was translated out of the original English by Pierre Coste and published in Amsterdam by Mortier. This edition is notably desirable because of the full-page portrait of Locke along with smaller, beautiful engraved vignettes.
