书名: Locke (Arguments of the Philosophers)
作者: Michael Ayers (Author)
出版社: Routledge; 1 edition (December 22, 1993)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0415100305
ISBN-13: 978-0415100304
Book Description
John Locke's complex masterpiece, An Essay of Human Understanding, was a sustained attack on the dogmatism of the day and the last great work of philosophical realism before the onset of idealism. One of the most influential books in the history of thought, it is the most renowned work of the great English philosopher. Originally published in two volumes, this one-volume edition of Locke examines the historical meaning and philosophical significance of this work through careful explanations of the context of debate to which it was a decisive contribution. The first volume of this comprehensive work focuses on Locke's Essay from the epistemological side, and the second turns to the concepts of Locke's ontology--substance, mode, essence, law, and identity.
Review
'A distinguished addition to Lockean studies, which will doubtless be widely used and discussed in coming years.' -- Mind
'Anybody who dares to claim there is nothing to be learnt from philosophy's history will have to contend with these volumes.' -- Times Higher Education Supplement
'Ayer's book is a fine tool for students ... The positions taken by Ayers are so little infected with Nineties commonplaces that this study of Locke will surely outlive this decade, and perhaps several to come.' -- London Review of Books
'It is enormously impressive - both a moving and a fascinating book.' -- John Dunn, Political Studies
'Michael Ayer's magisterial Locke is the philosophical work of the year and, no doubt, of the decade. It costs the price of a weekend to Brighton but is much more rewarding.' -- Terry Eagleton, The Independent on Sunday
'This book is something of a tour de force ... the bare simplicity of its title belies its complexity and richness.' -- Journal of Philosophy
'This is the most considerable book yet written on Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding; it reflects scholarship, intelligence and a good nose for a philosophical problem ... [it] is an absorbingly interesting book; I have had a good time wrestling with it.' -- Times Literary Supplement
