Editorial Reviews
Review
"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
