Publisher's Synopsis
""An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding V2"" is a philosophical treatise written by John Locke, one of the most influential thinkers of the Enlightenment era. The book is a continuation of the first volume, which explores the nature of human knowledge and the limits of human understanding. In this second volume, Locke delves deeper into the topics of perception, language, and the concept of identity. He argues that all knowledge is acquired through experience and that our ideas are formed by the interaction between our minds and the external world. Locke also explores the ways in which language shapes our understanding of the world and the importance of clear and precise communication. The book is a seminal work in the field of epistemology and has had a significant impact on the development of modern philosophy, psychology, and linguistics. It is a challenging but rewarding read for anyone interested in the nature of human knowledge and understanding.Secondly, By the PHILOSOPHICAL use of words, I mean such a use of them as may serve to convey the precise notions of things, and to express in general propositions certain and undoubted truths, which the mind may rest upon and be satisfied with in its search after true knowledge. These two uses are very distinct; and a great deal less exactness will serve in the one than in the other, as we shall see in what follows.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
