Description
The aim of this "Oxford Readings in Philosophy" series is to bring together writings in major areas of philosophical inquiry, selected from a variety of sources, mostly periodicals, which may not be conveniently available to the university student or the general reader. The editors of each volume contribute an introductory essay on the items chosen and on the questions with which they deal. A selective bibliography is appended as a guide to further reading. This volume in the series presents 15 articles on the main topics in Locke's "Essay Concerning Human Understanding". The increased interest in Locke's philosophy since the 1970s has resulted in rigorous, informed, and philosophically sophisticated studies. Each article in this collection covers one or more major issues in Locke's "Essay". Together they cover all the key themes, including: innate ideas; ideas and perception; primary and secondary qulaities; free will; substance; personal identity; language; essence; knowledge; and belief. The authors include some of the world's leading Locke scholars: Michael R. Ayers, Margaret Atherton, J.L.
Mackie, John Campbell, Vere Chappell, Martha Brandt Bolton, Jonathan Bennett and Kenneth P. Winkler.
