Book Description
Locke on Human Understanding, is a comprehensive introduction to John Locke's major work, Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Locke's Essay remains a key work in many philosophical fields, notably in epistemology, metaphysics and the philosophies of mind and language. In addition, Locke is often referred to as the first English empiricist. Knowledge of this influential work and figure is essential to Enlightenment thought.
E. J. Lowe's approach enables students to effectively study the Essay by placing Locke's life and works in their intellectual and historical context. The book provides a critical examination of the leading themes in the Essay, illuminating the main lines in Locke's thinking. Such topics include innate ideas, perception, primary and secondary qualities, personal identity, free will, action and language. Finally, E. J. Lowe examines the comtemporary work being done on this highly influential English philosopher.
Review
"An excellent introduction which absolutely should be read by any student concerned with Locke on these topics.." -- Roger Woolhouse, University of York
"The idea of such a series is, surely, a welcome one...It is also, as to be expected, invariably clear, stimulating and intelligent. Lowe's book is a very useful one. It should be recommended to any student who wants an introduction to Locke, and the individual chapters should figure on reading lists. It is written in a clear style, stimulating, well-informed and thoughtful in its discussion of Locke and in its own proposals. ... Lowe's book is an excellent start to the new series." -- Paul Snowdon
"For the student who comes to the Essay, is intrigued by it, and who wants to explore further the implications of Locke's treatment of many of the issues still central to contemporary philosophical debate, Lowe's book is a valuable resource." -- Canadia Philosophical Reviews
