#3 "Thật vậy nếu sau này chúng tốt hay xấu, người ta sẽ căn cứ trên giáo dục mà khen hay chê chúng; và khi chúng phạm lỗi, người ta sẽ không khỏi phán xét bằng câu nói thường tình: "Đó là lỗi do nền giáo dục mà chúng đã nhận được." - John Locke

Locke, much like his Essay Concerning Human Understanding, in this text is primarily negative. In the Essay he was trying to tear down the Aristotelian order which had reigned over epistemology and metaphysics. Locke is in a similar mode here. His intention was to remove unnecessary pedantries from the curriculum, and therefore make education more practical. It's preferable to Rousseau, and most of his ideas are now accepted as common sense. Suggested reading for parents.

John Locke đưa cho mình những góc nhìn thật chân thực và thâm sâu về việc giáo dục một đứa trẻ. Mình sẽ đọc đi đọc lại nhiều lần để thấm nhuần tư tưởng của bác.

Even though it was written some-hundred years ago, it still holds up. Some things from the book are incredibly relevent in connection to today’s education and raising children.

I read this as part of my "Western canon books on raising children" thing (previously read Emile and of course that is in significant part a reaction to this). Interesting stuff. Locke promotes something along the lines of authoritative parenting. He views willfully defiant behavior as deserving fairly severe discipline, but that in the absence of this, he says parents should work to influence their children via reputation and related mechanisms--praise, measured condemnation, a (dis)approving l...

"One thing I have frequently observed in children, that when they have got possession of any poor creature, they are apt to use it ill: they often torment, and treat it very roughly, young birds, butterflies, and such other poor animals which fall into their hands, and that with a seeming kind of pleasure. This I think should be watched in them, and if they incline to any such cruelty, they should be taught the contrary usage. For the custom of tormenting and killing of beasts, will, by degrees,...

highlights/takeaways:- reward/punish system only reinforces natural passions to seek pleasure and avoid pain- teach children to enjoy the thing for itself (suggests game to make learning to read fun)- teach them religion first so they have room for the idea of spirits/intangible things and can study philosophy later

I read an abridged version of this for my Educational Philosophy class. Most of the book seems like common sense on how to raise and educate children according to today's standards but I can see how it was a shift from how children were previously educated.

Locke was very much a man of his times, partly because he did so much to shape them. He was born into an England that was teetering on the brink of enlightenment, and he helped to push the country over the edge. By the late 17th century, the beliefs in reasonable religion and secular values were overtaking a blind confidence in authority. Individual freedoms were taking central stage in political debates. Excitement over modern technologies and abilities were beginning to replace a worshipful fo...

If you're studying educational philosophy, I'd say this is a must-read.There were many ideas Locke had that were great. Let's just give him a round of applause for the moral education thing, shall we? *claps* Thank you for believing in virtue. And yes, parents are important and should be respected, usually. And children should definitely be taught to love the truth. But, Mr. Locke, why did you want to take logic and rhetoric out of learning? They've done that a lot recently. To think, centuries

Một cuốn sách giáo khoa cho những người làm cha, mẹ cũng như những người có sự ảnh hưởng lớn trong việc giáo dục trẻ nhỏ. Tuy không đi sâu vào phương pháp cụ thể nhưng tác giả đã chỉ ra một đường hướng cơ bản trong việc giáo dục, mà dù hoàn cảnh có thay đổi thế nào thì những người có trách nhiệm cần nắm lấy. Cuốn sách được viết ra từ rất lâu nhưng tư tưởng lại không hề lạc hậu mà hiện nay người ta cũng đang cố gắng thực hiện để đạt được một nền giáo dục nhân văn.

A highly interesting book where the English Philosopher John Locke shares his thoughts on the ideal education for a gentleman of his time. The Treatise begins the start, within educational philosophy, of a move towards concern with the utility of education; i.e. how does this apply to 'real life.'

Nhiều suy nghĩ hay lắm dù không phải mới, và thú thực mình cũng trăn trở bấy lâu, nhưng phương pháp cụ thể thì chưa rõ ràng. Những thiếu sót của hệ thống giáo dục đại trà (nguy ở chỗ không những hệ thống hổng (thậm chí sai lối) lại còn áp dụng trên diện rộng, hỏng là hỏng cả một thế hệ) nhiều khi khiến mình trông về hình thức thầy dạy tư ngày xưa mà tìm một lời chỉ dẫn. Trồng cây khó lắm.

Needless to say, I wish my parents had read this book... These thoughts of Locke are surely ahead of his time and still receive recognition these days. 9/10 and it’s easy to read (in VNam verse) (compared with other philosophy books)

Một quyển sách rất hay về cách bạn trưởng thành như một con người, và vì sao bạn nên nuôi một chú chó trước khi lập gia đình.

simple but meaningful. People always look for perfect things yet don't know they're so close and created by themselves day after day

Dù có một vài điểm đã cũ, nhưng nhìn chung, các quan điểm của John Locke sau 300 năm vẫn rất đáng suy ngẫm.

I am giving this a gift to each and every one of my friends or family members that has kids in the future
