Full Description
This title was first published in 2002. This volume brings together recent journal articles on the main themes in John Locke's immensely influential Essay concerning Human Understanding, first published in 1690. Most contributions are from the mid-eighties to 2000, reflecting some of the most recent developments in Locke scholarship. The essays selected for this volume present a variety of approaches: some examine Locke's thought in its historical context, some include a discussion of the impact of Locke's philosophy on subsequent thought, some are concerned mainly with a detailed analysis of Locke's text, and some deal with Locke from a present-day perspective. Thus, these papers convey many of the distinctive characteristics of Locke scholarship at the end of the century.
