Opis

In philosophical, political, religious and educational thought the philospopher John Locke (1632-1704), inspired the leading minds of both Europe and America. He argued against Descartes and Spinoza's exaggerated rationalism, waking up philosophy to a new empiricism. His ideas formed the moral basis for the ideas of Voltaire, Montesquieu and the French Encyclopedistes, and in America greatly influenced Jonathan Edwards and Thomas Jefferson. This set contains all the famous philosophical works, plus a life of the author. All correspondence is placed together, and the non-correspondence items are positioned to follow the relevant works. It contains works on economics, and gardening, as well as A History of Navigation.
