«Pensamientos sobre la educación» is the pedagogical essay by John Locke and Rafael Lasaleta, published by Ediciones Akal, S.A., in paperback (384 pages).
Locke wrote these pages as letters to advise a friend on the education of his son. Against the Renaissance ideal, he proposes utilitarian teaching: fewer punishments, attention to the child's nature, and valuing language learning. His ideas, aimed at forming the gentleman, were a reference for later pedagogy.
Originally published in 1693 as Some Thoughts Concerning Education. This edition belongs to Akal's Básica de Bolsillo collection.
A reading for educators, parents, and pedagogy students interested in the foundations of teaching.
John Locke was an English philosopher and physician, widely regarded as one of the most influential of the Enlightenment thinkers and commonly known as the "father of liberalism". His important works include A Letter Concerning Toleration (1689), Two Treatises of Government (1689/90), both published anonymously, and An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1689/90). His writing on toleration contends that religion is a matter for the individual and that the churches are voluntary associations, ruling out religious coercion and uniformity; these lead to the idea of separation of church and state. His Two Treatises on Government argues for government based on the consent of the governed and the right to revolt against tyrannous government which has lost consent. The Two Treatises are believed to have influenced the language that Thomas Jefferson chose in his drafting the July 1776 Declaration of Independence during the War of American Independence.
