| Synopsis: |
Philosophy for busy people. Read a succinct account of the philosophy of Locke in just one hour.Much of Locke's thought we would now regard as common sense. One of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers; his philosophy was to lay the foundations of empiricism with its belief that our knowledge of the world is based on experience. Locke's work introduced the idea of liberal democracy - a concept that has become the shibboleth of Western civilisation. People who can't even spell philosophy are now likely to accept these ideas; just over three centuries ago they were incomprehensible.Here is a concise, expert account of Locke's life and philosophical ideas - entertainingly written and easy to understand. Also included are selections from Locke's work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Locke in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy. |
