"A really superb introduction to Locke's work. It is highly recommended both for students and scholars of early modern philosophy, not least because of the refreshingly coherent and unified picture it presents of the thought one of England’s 'premier league' philosophers." Metascience "This book is an excellent commentary on the major areas of Locke’s philosophy. It ... Read moreis informed with a deep respect for the complexity of Locke’s thought and a wide reading in the sophisticated contemporary literature, both on Locke and more widely." John Rogers, Keele University "A superb introduction to the philosophy of John Locke. It is balanced and insightful in its interpretations and displays a keen grasp of the whole sweep of Locke’s philosophy. While there is much here for the scholar, this book is just the right length and pitch for an undergraduate student text." Peter Anstey, University of Otago, New Zealand "A. J. Pyle has written an excellent book on the philosophy of John Locke. It is thorough, scholarly, historically informed, lucidly written, provocative and engaging. It leads the reader through thorny and conceptually difficult material with an effortless fluidity that neither sacrifices precision nor loses the reader in minutiae. This volume should be of interest to undergraduates, graduate students and non-specialists who are interested in Locke and his contribution to Western philosophy. I highly recommend it."
