Editorial Reviews

"A clear, lively, and original series of discussions which reflect well on both Locke and their author."—Times Literary Supplement

"Extremely lucid and...readable....What emerges is an appreciation of the extent to which Locke's philosophy is constitutive of our contemporary view of the world....This should prove to be a very useful addition to any undergraduate library. Highly recommended."—Choice
