Book Description
Review
"very stimulating and exciting" --Richard A. Watson
"careful and perceptive study ... lucid and wide-ranging study" --Times Literary Supplement
"A significant study of a central topic in modern philosophy ... a philosophically stimulating, historically rich discussion of the nature of ideas." --Choice
"This is an excellent book about a variety of themes in seventeenth-century philosophy ... Jolley does provide something extremely valuable: an engaging and stimulating tour of a series of fascinating philosophical debates which constitute central dimensions of the seventeenth-century philosophical tradition ... Jolley has a fine philosophical sense, an excellent knowledge of the texts, and a rich appreciation of the secondary literature." --Review of Metaphysics
"Jolley has written a rich and useful book. Its concerns are important and he presents them in a remarkably accessible fashion. However problematic or controversial his claims may be, Jolley makes them clear. Very seldom does a book like this appear that will be of serious interest both to the most advanced, sophisticated researchers in the field and to those with only passing knowledge of the basic texts ... It is an engaging book, in both senses of the term. Its style and method of argument are not only prepossessing, but they also draw one into the dialectic, and in a philosophically productive way." --Thomas M. Lennon, The University of Western Ontario, Canadian Philosophical Reviews, V. XI, No. 5 - V. XII, No. 1 (Oct 91 - Jan 92)
