“I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.”

– John Locke

In 1693, Locke published a treatise on education entitled ‘Thoughts Concerning Education’. Throughout the 18^th-century it was the most important work on the philosophy of education in England. This work was an extension from ‘Concerning Human Understanding’ in which he describes how to educate the ‘blank slate’ mind described in ‘Human Understanding’.
