Reading update: "Portable Enlightenment Reader" excerpts

We are not quite there yet, but here are the excerpts from Isaac Kramnick, ed., The Portable Enlightenment Reader, that you should plan to read in the next assignment. Note that this assignment includes some sections of Part IV that were mistakenly left out of the syllabus.

• Introduction
• Part I: selections by Kant, Condorcet
• Part II: selections by Bacon, Newton, Voltaire, Condorcet, Priestley, Franklin
• Part III: selections by Locke, Shaftesbury, Newton
• Part IV: Mind and Ideas --selections by Descartes, Locke, Voltaire, Hume
• Part IV: Education and Childhood -- selections by Locke, Rousseau & Priestley
• Part V: Politics and the State -- selection by John Locke (I forgot this one earlier)
  

If you bog down in this material, the selections from Locke are by far the most important.
