다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The principal aim of this paper is to discuss a capacity of the understanding and education which is relevant to the cultivation of the intellect in John Locke`s empiricism. To sum up: In this paper, first of all, John Locke`s educational thinking has an implication for Korean education even today. He emphasizes the importance of observing children, and of planning their education in the light of the observation, for he realized the starting-point of education is the child and his needs, Secondly, the influence of Locke in his empiricism and realist (gentleman) education was widespread and profound. In philosophy, according to Codarsco, his empiricism influenced Berkeley, Hume, and Kant; in education, his views Rousseau, Basedow, Pestalozzi, and Herbart.. If Locke`s great importance lies in his investigation of the problem of epistemology, his importance in the history of education lies in his analysis of human nature as it is before experience and without innate ideas. Thirdly, no thinker can be properly understand apart from the historical context in which he belongs; for Locke both reflects the mind of his age and also contributes to the renewal and redirection of that mind: in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding, the great revolution towards empiricism begins, and in his Some Thoughts Concerning Education and Of the Conduct of the Understanding, his theories of gentleman education and disciplinarian education can be accomplished.
