Excerpt from An Abridgment of Mr. Locke's Essay: Concerning Human Understanding
Honoured Sir,
I send you this imperfect draught of your excellent Essay concerning Human Understanding; which, I must confess, falls as much short of the Perfection, as it does of the length of the original. Nevertheless, as I lately intimated to you (and you were pleased to think, that what I propos'd in reference to this Design, would not be wholly lost Labour) I am not without Hopes, that it may in this contracted Form, prove in some Measure serviceable to that noble End, which you have so successfully aimed at in it, viz. The Advancement of Real and useful Knowledge. The Inducement which moved me to think of abridging it, was a Consideration purely extrinsical to the Work itself; and in effect no other than this; that it would be better suited to the Ease and Convenience of some sort of Readers, when reduced into this narrow Compass.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive exploration of the origins, nature, and limits of human knowledge. The author, an eminent philosopher, argues that all our knowledge ultimately derives from two distinct sources: sensory experience (sensation) and introspection (reflection). Through a meticulous analysis of these sources, the book unravels the complex processes by which we acquire, organise, and utilise knowledge. The author examines the nature of simple ideas, such as those of colour and sound, and shows how they combine to form complex ideas, such as those of objects and events. He also explores the role of language in the development and communication of knowledge, and discusses the different ways in which we can acquire new knowledge through reasoning, observation, and experimentation. Throughout the book, the author emphasises the importance of distinguishing between true knowledge and mere opinion, and he provides valuable insights into the nature of belief, judgment, and understanding. This book is a classic work of philosophy that has profoundly influenced our understanding of the human mind and its capacity for knowledge, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the nature and limits of human cognition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331617273_0
