Problems from Locke [Paperback]

This book deals with problems raised in Locke'sEssay concerning Human Understandingthat remain of interest to contemporary philosophers. The main topics discussed are primary and secondary qualities, representative theories of perception, substance, real and nominal essence, abstraction and universals, identity and diversity, personal identity, and innate ideas and empiricism.

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
