何についての本か

子どもをどう育てるかについてのロックの書。友人にその息子のことで書き送った手紙から育ち、一六九三年に刊行された。

背景と歴史

子どもの心を白紙になぞらえる像を世に広めたのはこの書であり、そこから実践上の結論が引き出される。大人になって何者になるかはほとんどすべて習慣による、ゆえに教育は頭を満たすより先に人柄を形づくらねばならない、と。ここから具体的な助言が出てくる。それらは人々を憤らせ、そして勝った。強情のとき以外は体罰を用いないこと、菓子で褒美をやらないこと、たっぷり運動し戸外の空気に触れること、硬い寝床に寝ること。そして何よりも、子どもと一人の人格として道理を論じ合うこと。子どもはまさに一人の人格なのだから。一世紀のあいだ、ヨーロッパでもっとも影響力のある教育書であった。ルソーが『エミール』を書いたのは、これと論じ合ってのことである。

But you know I can truly say, that if some^ who having heard of these Papers of mine, had not presid to ^ee them, and afterwards to have them printed, they had lain dormant still in that Privacy they were designed for. But those, whose Judgment I defer much tOj telling me, that they were per' Ixii • The Epistle Dedicatory.

However, the Meanness of these Papers, and my fust Distrust of them, shall not keep me, by the Shame of doing so little, from contributing my Mite, when there is no more required of me than my throwing it into the publick Receptacle, And if there be any more of their Size and Notions, who liHd them so well, that they thought them worth printing, 1 may flatter myself they will not be lost Labour…
