This was immensely interesting. I find that I've been abusing language! I'll try to retrain myself. I would recommend this short chapter to everyone.
Possibly the most interesting book I've ever read.
Posted on my book blog.Background: I am a fan of the Penguin – Great Ideas series of books, so when I saw this book for sale I thought it would be a great opportunity to further my knowledge of philosophy, since I I knew John Locke and his writings only on a very general level.Review: As you can probably tell by the title, this is mainly a book about epistemology and etymology. He starts by exploring the way ideas are formed by the human mind, and explains how some types of ideas are more liable...
Soy lo bastante ignorante de la filosofía para no saber antes de este libro quién es John Locke, pero lo disfruté mucho.Este escrito cubre desde como las ideas son generadas en nuestros pensamientos y los tipos de ideas que el autor ha examinado y llegado a la conclusión que existen. Es muy interesante leer a un hombre tan inteligente disertar de este tema y sin duda amplió muchísimo mi conocimiento acerca de las ideas en este aspecto y me hizo reflexionar mucho.La parte de las palabras es el co...
Quien tenga nombres sin ideas dirá palabras sin sentido y pronunciara meros sonidos vacíos.
John Locke primero explica cómo se forman nuestras ideas, los tipos diferentes qué hay y porque las ideas más complejas son imperfectas. Luego nos explica porque las palabras no pueden expresar fielmente lo que pensamos y que tendríamos que hacer para que los demás nos entendieran y que muchas discusiones en el mundo se acabarían si antes de empezar a discutir definiéramos los términos que utilizamos en la discusión. No es una lectura tan sencilla, pero vale la pena el esfuerzo.
Απόσπασμα -από το ευρύτερο Δοκίμιο περί ανθρώπινης νόησης του 1690- οδηγός για να συνειδητοποιήσουμε γιατί πρέπει να σκεφτόμαστε καθετί που ακούμε αλλά και πόσο προσεχτικοί να είμαστε σε όσα λέμε. Μικρός θησαυρός περί γλώσσας!
This isn't an area I feel particularly passionate about, I find it interesting to dip into from time to time. Locke's book is very good for that, in that it's so carefully broken down, getting to grips with it doesn't require enormous amounts of background knowledge or painstaking analysis. I didn't find a great deal I concurred with (there were several flaws/holes in the argument I couldn't plug), but I had to respect the precision with which the argument was constructed.

A very interesting essay that encourages careful use of words, while keeping to a realist stance. Having just read Wittgenstein, I can see the influence this essay must have had on him, especially the use of "complexes". Modern nominalists should have a read
Maybe it's the slightly archaic language, but I found this book very difficult and slow to read. Long sentences that invariably daily to hold my attention from beginning to end.I'm quite well-read, I usually enjoy reading, but this was a struggle. Sure, now I can brag that I've read Locke, but it wasn't worth it.
Taken from An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, these essayes attempt to account for the origin of all our ideas. Its dry and academic in the extreme, but I'm interested in reading more from Locke, but preferably via audiobook.
Worth reading if you have an hour or so spare but this is not a book to be taken lightly
Perhaps the pattern of standards that comprise the words that I used were miscommunicated, so let me repeat:niggaon dafritz
