Penguin An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Locke John

"Опыт о человеческом разумении" - одна из ключевых работ Джона Локка и один из центральных трудов эмпиризма. Здесь Локк - отчасти в диалоге с Декартом и Гоббсом - опровергает представления рационалистов о врожденных идеях, последовательно постулирует первичность ощущения и непосредственного опыта в сравнении с разумом и рассматривает генезис идей в связке с чувствами, словами и восприятием. Понятия идентичности и "я", как их трактует современная психология, во многом уходят корнями в эпистемологическую теорию Локка • Книга на английском языке • Notes and Introduction by Mark G. Spencer, Brock University, Ontario • John Locke (1632-1704) was perhaps the most influential English writer of his time. His Essay concerning Human Understanding (1690) and Two Treatises of Government (1690) weighed heavily on the history of ideas in the eighteenth century, and Locke's works are often - rightly - presented as foundations of the Age of Enlightenment

John Locke was one of the greatest figures of the Enlightenment, whose assertion that reason is the key to knowledge changed the face of philosophy. These writings on thought, ideas, perception, truth and language are some of the most influential in the history of Western thought • Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are

Gandhi's non-violent struggles against racism, violence, and colonialism in South Africa and India had brought him to such a level of notoriety, adulation that when asked to write an autobiography midway through his career, he took it as an opportunity to explain himself. He feared the enthusiasm for his ideas tended to exceed a deeper understanding of his quest for truth rooted in devotion to God. His attempts to get closer to this divine power led him to seek purity through simple living, dietary practices, celibacy, and a life without violence. This is not a straightforward narrative biography, in The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Gandhi offers his life story as a reference for those who would follow in his footsteps

Одно из самых значительных произведений западной философии, трактат Юма, был опубликован в 1739-40 годах, когда ему еще не исполнилось тридцати лет. Являясь вершиной английского эмпиризма, она представляет собой всестороннюю попытку применить научные методы наблюдения к изучению человеческой природы и энергичную атаку на принципы традиционной метафизической мысли. С виртуозным красноречием Юм отрицает бессмертие души и реальность пространства; рассматривает способ, которым мы формируем концепции идентичности, причины и следствия; и размышляет о природе свободы, добродетели и эмоций. Противопоставляемая как метафизике, так и рационализму, философия обоснованного скептицизма Юма рассматривает человека не как религиозное творение и не как машину, а как существо, в котором доминируют чувства, страсти и аппетиты
