Locke and Cartesian Philosophy

ISBN-13: 9780198815037 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 240 str.

Philippe Hamou; Martine Pecharman

Opis

Twelve original essays by an international team of scholars investigate the relation of John Locke's thought to Descartes and Cartesianism. They explore not only these philosophers' theories of knowledge, but also their views on natural philosophy, metaphysics, and religion.

Recenzje

The book is a welcome contribution. The twelve papers in it resolutely set aside hackneyed labels in favour of a more nuanced examination of the many complicated ways in which Locke engages both positively and negatively with Descartes (and, to some extent, Cartesian philosophy more generally).
