An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Section S7
Section 352 of 1,114
Canonical reference B2.C21.S7
English
Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text
Every one, I think, finds in HIMSELF a power to begin or forbear, continue or put an end to several actions in himself. From the consideration of the extent of this power of the mind over the actions of the man, which everyone finds in himself, arise the IDEAS of LIBERTY and NECESSITY.
French
Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition
Chacun, je penſe, trouve en ſoi-même la Puiſſance de commencer différentes actions, ou de s’en abſtenir, de les continuer ou de les terminer. Et c’eſt la conſideration de l’étenduë de cette Puiſſance que l’Ame a ſur les Actions de l’Homme, & que chacun trouve en ſoi-même, qui nous fournit l’idée de la Liberté & de la Néceſſité.
