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. Dicker 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.
