Diego Lucci

Opis

In this book, Diego Lucci offers a thorough analysis and reassessment of Locke's unique, heterodox, internally coherent version of Protestant Christianity. Critically examining all of the main aspects of his unorthodox theological ideas, Lucci calls attention to Locke's influences and explores in depth the reception of his work.

Recenzje

'Diego Lucci's John Locke's Christianity is a fabulous work of scholarship - meticulously researched, well argued, and judicious. It should be required reading for everyone interested in John Locke's thought … Lucci not only provides an excellent account of Locke's Christian beliefs but also shows how those beliefs are relevant for interpreting and understanding some of Locke's philosophical positions. Lucci's book will be read and discussed by scholars for years to come.' Benjamin Hill, Journal of the History of Philosophy
