Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-28 00:00:00 Kevin A Heins A rather peculiar read that is mostly about educating a child, all from what to eat to how to teach them languages. Mostly not very interesting. Sometimes funny. I read the Hackett edition with "Of the Conduct of the Understanding" that I found much more interesting. Even if this is more of an aside Locke, it still gives an idea of the diversity of his thought and what he used his mind on and clearly he was prepared on life and rising children. Parts of it was definitely very interesting but in total it's a difficult recommendation to any person really, as a lot of things seems to be outdated in our time.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-15 00:00:00 Nathan Weber In particular, it is Locke's Of the Conduct of the Understanding that I focus on with this review. This short work explains what Locke was trying to do in all his political philosophy. As such, it is indispensable to read if one wishes to understand Locke's works, and it is often overlooked by his contemporary critics.
