An Essay Concerning Humane Understanding, Volume 1
John Locke
No ideas are innate, John Locke begins, and modern psychology begins with him. The first volume of his essay demolishes inborn principles, then derives all our ideas from sensation and reflection, examining perception, memory, and the furniture of the mind piece by piece. The founding survey of human understanding built from experience up. Inventory your mind with its first cartographer.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
