Opis

This book argues that the Essay is unified from beginning to end around its compositional theory of ideas and the active role Locke gives the mind in constructing its thoughts. Priselac argues that Locke’s discussion of skepticism and account of knowledge of the external world fits neatly within the Essay’s epistemology.

Recenzje

"This study of Locke's epistemology in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding is an original, ambitious, and complex monograph that also shows command of the relevant recent Locke scholarship … Locke scholars who work through Priselac's rich book will profit from the effort." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
