John Locke (1632-1704) is an English philosopher, economist and teacher. 1 In his two « Treatises of Government » (1690) he opposed the ideas of Thomson Hobbes arguing that governments (to rule) only if they (to be supported) by the people. Later revolutions in America and in France and the development of Western democracy confirmed this point of view. His most famous book on philosophy is «An Essay Concerning Human Understanding» (1690), an attempt to show what can and what cannot be known.

John Locke was born on August 29^th, 1632 in the family of a provincial lawyer in Wrington. His parents were Puritans. He was brought up in the atmosphere of strict order, once and for all established relationships between members of the family. There he got his first lessons of being thrifty and tidy. He graduated from Westminster School, one of the oldest Latin public schools in Britain. 2 If his schooling years (to give) him an opportunity to experience formal education reigning at that time, he (not to criticize) it later. He accused schooling of giving absolutely incomprehensible knowledge.

On graduation he was sent to Oxford University as one of brilliant pupils. The University studies didn’t satisfy him but brought excellent records and the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1656, changed by the Degree of Magister of Arts three years later. In 1660 Locke was appointed a lecturer of the Greek language at the University and turned to writing.

He wrote the treatise «Reflections on the Rome Republic» there. 3 On condition that his scientific ambitions (to coincide) with the famous University principles, J. Locke (to leave) it to find his own cup of tea. He contributed to settling relationships between state and church, development of economical theory, educating the nation.

He believed the society to reform under the influence of education. The primary concern of education is upbringing of a virtue. On the whole a bourgeois youth development is regarded by the scholar. The focus of moral education is concentrated on fostering a noble religious bourgeois gentleman, possessing wisdom, politeness, courage, generosity, fair play. 4 If learning the rules of behaviour and forming habits, setting grown-ups way of living as an instrument of pedagogical influence, stimulating and punishment (to take) into consideration, the aim (to reach). 5 One of his basic educational principles sounds «If the habit of physical labour as an irreplaceable method of inculcation of love to the activity (to be) exercised in the educating process, a lazy young (to get) a good opportunity to become industrious and hard-working person».

J. Locke declared differences in educational approaches according to the kid’s origin. He proposed a variety of educational establishments including schools for workers. A special attention should be paid to the development in the pupils from workers’ families the habit of work, love of labour, diligence and minimum of scientific knowledge.

According to J. Locke, moral education is to follow a physical preparation. The latter begins at a child’s birth through constant physical training. He prevented from mistakes in moral education: giving children uncontrolled freedom as full and absolute crush of child’s independence could lead to creating a weak-willed character.

6 Unless a good teacher (to be) not only a communicator of knowledge and studied pupils closely to discover their interests, their strengths, weaknesses, needs and abilities, he (to be) a success in his job according to J. Locke pedagogical theory. 7 Thus providing that a good teacher always (to regard) capacities of his pupils, trying to temper his teaching methods to children’s abilities and aptitudes, he (to be able) to build his work upon what he learns about his children. 8 If he (to be) a teacher, he (to control) his temper without shutting eyes to faults requiring correction.

Acquiring knowledge of arithmetic, astronomy, geometry, history and religion takes the second place after shaping the child’s character according to J. Locke. 9 He wished he (to teach) foreign languages if it (to be) necessary for job.

Thus, John Locke outstripped the views of bourgeoisie on education. 10 He thought that human qualities and traits of any character (to be) stronger if they (to be) got in the process of education. Only using proper approaches in education a teacher is able to develop a person. The process of education was considered to be a creative one as it brought something new. Нe pointed out merits and defects of educational system of his time.

His writings on education are selected in nine volumes. The main of them are « Some thoughts concerning education » (1732), «Of the conduct of the understanding» (1824), «Elements of natural philosophy».

J. Locke died in a solitary small town White near the county Sussex in 1704.
