{"product_id":"locke-on-knowledge-and-reality-georges-dicker-9780190662202","title":"Locke on Knowledge and Reality: A Commentary on an Essay Concerning Human Understanding","description":"Georges Dicker here provides a commentary on John Locke's masterwork, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding-the foundational work of classical Empiricism. Dicker's commentary is an accessible guide for students who are reading Locke for the first time; a useful research tool for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students; and a contribution to Locke scholarship for professional scholars. It is designed to be read alongside the Essay, but does not presuppose familiarity with it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDicker expounds and critically discusses the main theses and arguments of each of the Essay's four books, on the innatism that Locke opposes, the origin and classification of ideas, language and meaning, and knowledge, respectively. He analyses Locke's influential explorations of related topics, including primary and secondary qualities, substance, identity, personal identity, free will, nominal and real essences, perception, and external-world skepticism, among others. Written in an analytical style that strives for clarity, the book offers careful textual analyses as well as step-by-step reconstructions of Locke's arguments, and it references and engages with relevant work of other major philosophers and Locke commentators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Georges Dicker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190662204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190662202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Georges Dicker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119396647167,"sku":"9780190662202","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5ec69b6-ff1a-48ff-bef7-669956822d80.jpg?v=1687409127","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/locke-on-knowledge-and-reality-georges-dicker-9780190662202","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
