"Locke. Les idées et les choses (série : ""Les Grands Philosophes"")"

by Michael Ayers

Essais On a reproché à Locke son empirisme outré, sa rhétorique verbeuse, et l'apparente imprécision de sa pensée ; il est temps de lui rendre la place qui est la sienne, au sein de la philosophie moderne - elle n'est rien moins que centrale. A travers sa relecture de l'Essai concernant l'entendement humain, Michael Ayers nous permet de saisir la signification historique du projet philosophique de Locke, et son actualité.

Reviews

[R. · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ayers acknowledges early on that Locke’s style is rambling, repetitive and disputatious. Given that, you’d think he would provide us with a path through the morass. And yet he doesn’t!
