IndexJohn Locke is indisputably a major thinker in education. Alexander Moseley's volume offers the most coherent account of Locke's educational thought.
Alexander Moseley lectured in philosophy before setting up a private educational service in the UK. He is the author of several books, including an educational biography of John Locke, An Introduction to Political Philosophy, and An A-Z of Philosophy. Richard Bailey is a writer and researcher in education and sport. A former teacher in both primary and secondary schools and a teacher trainer, he has been Professor at a number of leading Universities in the UK. He now lives and works in Germany, where he is Manager of Sport and Health at the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education.
"'It is a major strength of Mosley's book [...] that he so carefully and thoroughly sets Locke's educational writings in their context. Above all Mosley's book draws out the many connections between Locke's educational writings and his other texts. It is the detailed and scholarly drawings of connections that distinguishes this book...' Richard Smith, Professor of Education, University of Durham; Editor of Ethics in Education; and Associate Editor of the Journal of the Philosophy of Education."
