5A highly readable and influential work by a seminal thinker.
Von Scott Ryan (sandgryan@worldnet.att.net)
On the list of thinkers who have exemplified what Brand Blanshard called the "rational temper," John Locke must surely place very high. The reader of this his most influential and important work will be constantly struck not only by his sane and sober approach to philosophical questions but indeed, as another reviewer has noted, by how commonplace his own proposed solutions have become.

It will be found that Locke, generally regarded as an "empiricist," is extremely hard to pigeonhole. Though rejecting (an earlier version of) the doctrine of "innate ideas" and insisting that all of our ideas come from or through sense-experience, he was clearly a "rationalist" as regards the nature of knowledge itself. Both modern empiricists and modern rationalists could benefit from a healthy infusion of his reasonable, even-handed tenor and uncommon common sense.

Also highly recommended is E.J. Lowe's _Locke On Human Understanding_, an excellent introduction and overview to this great work as well as a delightful and highly insightful attempt to show that many of Locke's positions are still defensible today (though perhaps in need of some modification). It is a handy companion to the present volume both for the beginner and for the longtime reader of Locke; even those who know Locke well (or think they do!) will find Lowe's work engaging and enlightening.

1Nicht der Text, aber das Buch ist qualitativ absolut minderwertig und völlig überteuert
Von Peter Schuster
Angeblich bezieht sich die Beschreibung, es handele sich um eine Reproduktion mit leichten Mängeln nicht auf die gebundene, sondern die Taschenbuchausgabe. Das ist nicht der Fall. Für fast 30 Euro erhält man ein schön gebundenes Buch von Kopien eines lausig gedruckten sehr alten Buches.

5I Already Knew That
Von Ein Kunde
The highest compliment I can pay this book is the fact that throughout my entire reading I found myself repeating (in my mind), "I already knew that!" This is evidence of how influential Locke's philosophy has been on our present-day understanding of human nature. Also, aesthetically, the book was enjoyable because of its "courtly" English.
