TEXT 4

The British philosopher John Locke, writing at the end of the seventeenth century, viewed the child’s experience and education as the fundamental determinants of his development, although he did allow for “native propensities.” The infant’s mind, he wrote, is a tabula rasa - a blank slate - and he is therefore receptive to all kinds of learning. 5 Locke was committed to the ultimate rationality of man. The object of all education, as he saw it, is self-discipline, self-control, and the “power of denying ourselves the satisfaction of our own desires, where reason does not authorize them.” To achieve these goals, parents must begin instructing children in self-denial “from their very cradles”.
