Stewart Duncan

Recenzje

Anyone interested in early modern philosophy will want to read this beautifully written book. Stewart Duncan is a judicious guide to and analyst of key episodes in the seventeenth century debate surrounding materialism. One result is a new appreciation for some subtleties of Locke's infamous and influential defense of the epistemic possibility of thinking matter, as well as a better understanding of where that view stands in relation to a range of positions and arguments that preceded it.
