Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The theme of this text is like this: the importance of the thought of John Locke, British empiricist philosopher, concerning knowledge, politics, religion and education in the global age. Thereby, the question that one searches for answering is this: nowadays, inside the global age, why is a thinker like John Locke still so important in order to support reflections about epistemological, political, religious and educational questions? The kind of research here reported is a theoretical approach. The development of this discourse followed these steps, based on some works of the chosen English author: first, some considerations about his theory of knowledge; second, some approaches concerning his political theory; third, some reflections under his ideas on religion; fourth, some discussions concerning his thoughts over education. The results of this inquire are these: Locke is one of the most eminent theorists of experience and it is essential to build knowledge; therefore, his thought must not be neglected; he is also very important to reflect about natural rights of mankind, which must be granted by Commonwealth; his ideas over toleration, that reinforce the distinction between Church and Commonwealth, are still useful to think about how to deal with several religious beliefs and political opinions; his educational thought outlines that education is a psychophysical that must equally treat both body and soul. Due to the current of his thought, it must be recommended and also revisited in order to think and make the present global age.
