Abstract

ABSTRACT In her book Experience Embodied Anik Waldow devotes a chapter to ‘Locke’s Experimental Persons.’ Her chapter aims to show how Locke’s views on persons, personal identity, and moral agency in his Essay concerning Human Understanding build on his esteem-based approach to education that he develops in Some Thoughts concerning Education. After outlining main contributions that Waldow makes in her chapter, I turn to three issues that in my view deserve further consideration. First, I draw attention to the question of how Locke’s esteem-based education can be reconciled with his moral views in the Essay. I propose that the question of how children become persons or moral agents who see their actions bound by divine law is worth examining with more detail. Second, I contrast Waldow’s interpretation of what a Lockean action is with an alternative interpretation and show that this has implications for how we understand the role of consciousness in Locke’s account of persons and personal identity. Third, I take a closer look at Waldow’s view that consciousness has an epistemic function in Locke’s account of persons and personal identity and highlight advantages of also acknowledging a metaphysical function of consciousness.
洛克论教育、人与道德能动性
在安妮克·沃尔多的著作《体验的体现》中,有一章专门讨论了“洛克的实验人物”。她的章节旨在展示洛克在《关于人类理解的文章》中关于人、个人身份和道德代理的观点是如何建立在他在《关于教育的一些思想》中发展起来的基于尊重的教育方法之上的。在概述了沃尔多在她的章节中所做的主要贡献之后,我转向我认为值得进一步考虑的三个问题。首先,我提请注意洛克的以尊重为基础的教育如何与他在《随笔》中的道德观相协调的问题。我认为,儿童如何成为看到自己的行为受到神圣律法约束的人或道德行为者,这个问题值得更详细地研究。其次,我将沃尔多对洛克行为的解释与另一种解释进行对比,并表明这对我们如何理解洛克对人格和人格同一性的描述中意识的作用有影响。第三,我将仔细研究Waldow的观点,即意识在洛克对人和个人同一性的描述中具有认知功能,并强调承认意识的形而上学功能的优势。
