An Essay Concerning Human Understanding

Provides an account of how we acquire everyday, mathematical, natural scientific, religious and ethical knowledge. Rejecting the theory that some knowledge is innate in us, this title argues that it derives from sense perceptions and experience, as analysed and developed by reason.

Ofera o descriere a modului in care dobandim cunostinte de zi cu zi, matematice, stiintifice naturale, religioase si etice. Respingand teoria conform careia unele cunostinte sunt innascute in noi, acest titlu sustine ca deriva din perceptiile simturilor si experienta, asa cum sunt analizate si dezvoltate de ratiune.
