A. John Locke
1. What kind of educator?
- He was an economist, political operative, physician, Oxford scholar, and medical
researcher as well as one of the great philosophers of the late 17th and early 18th
centuries.

2. What is "learning by doing"?

- Locke believed that the purpose of education was to bring children up to be virtuous,
using the power of reason to overcome desire. ... Education was to be directed towards
learning moral behavior in society rather than exploring the desires of the individual.
Learning by doing refers to a theory of education expounded by American philosopher
John Dewey. It's a hands-on approach to learning, meaning students must interact with
their environment in order to adapt and learn.

3. What is "inductive method of teaching"?

- The inductive method of teaching means that the teacher presents the rule through
situations and sentences and does guided practice, then the learners do free practice.
After that, the teacher deduces or elicits the rule form from the learners themselves by
themselves.

4. What is meant by "knowledge came literary sources - Greek and Latin"?

- Locke defined knowledge as “the perception of the connexion of and agreement, or
disagreement and repugnancy of any of our ideas.” Knowledge so defined admits of
three degrees, according to Locke. The first is what he called “intuitive knowledge,” in
which the mind “perceives the agreement or disagreement of two ideas immediately by
themselves, the second degree of knowledge obtains when “the mind perceives the
agreement or disagreement of…ideas, but not immediately, and a third degree of
knowledge, “sensitive knowledge,” is roughly the same as what Duns Scotus called
“intuitive cognition”—namely, the perception of “the particular existence of finite
beings without us.

5. What is the "divine right of kings"?

- In European Christianity, the divine right of kings, divine right, or God's mandation is a
political and religious doctrine of political legitimacy of a monarchy. It stems from a
specific metaphysical framework in which a monarch is, before birth, pre-ordained to
inherit the crown. Divine right of kings, in European history, a political doctrine in
defense of monarchical absolutism, which asserted that kings derived their authority
from God and could not therefore be held accountable for their actions by any earthly
authority such as a parliament.
6. Why is education needed/important for a ruler?
- Education helps a person hone their communication skills by learning how to read,
write, speak and listen. ... Education helps an individual meet basic job qualifications
and makes them more likely to secure better jobs. Education promotes gender equality
and helps empower girls and women.

7. Why do aristocrats not destined by birth to be rulers?

- Aristocracy, government by a relatively small privileged class or by a minority consisting
of those presumed to be best qualified to rule. Because "best qualified to rule" is an
evaluative notion, it is difficult to distinguish objectively between aristocratic and
oligarchic or timocratic governments. Because a monarchical system has its own
aristocracy and because the people generally try to elect those, they consider the "best"
as their rulers in democracies, an aristocratic element also is present in those regimes.
For those reasons, the term aristocracy often is used to mean the ruling upper layer of a
stratified group. Thus, the upper ranks of government form the political aristocracy of
the state; the stratum of the highest religious dignitaries constitutes the aristocracy of
the church; and the richest corporate executives and investors constitute an aristocracy
of economic wealth.
