5.0 out of 5 stars
An incisive account of British empiricism,
This review is from: The British Empiricists: Locke, Berkeley, Hume (Past Masters) (Paperback)
Reading the empiricists is a rare treat. Because of their style, Locke, Berkeley, and Hume seem to be more accessible to the novice and general reader than much of philosophy. However, the three essays included in this volume are welcome additions to the Oxford University Press's "Past Masters" series, and anyone reading this book will gain a greater appreciation for the empriricits. Highly recommended.
