关于有德或基督教生活的偶感

简介

Masham’s second book appeared anonymously in 1705, shortly after Locke’s death. It argues that a Christian life must rest on understanding rather than on custom or fear, and that this applies to women as much as to men. Because mothers shape children’s first years, an education that keeps girls ignorant of anything beyond domestic skills and fashion weakens the virtue of the whole society. Masham defends a religion grounded in reason against both enthusiasm and mere authority. The book draws on Locke’s Some Thoughts concerning Education (1693) and is now read as part of the early modern debate on women’s education, alongside Mary Astell.
