Using his intimate knowledge of John Locke's writings, John W.
Yolton shows that Locke comprehends "human understanding" as a
subset of a larger understanding of other intelligent Beings
angels, spirits, and an omniscient God. Locke's books on
Christianity (The Reasonableness of Christianity and Paraphrases of
St. Paul's Epistles) have received extensive analysis and
commentary, but little attention has been given to the place of his
Essay concerning Human Understanding in his religious and
theological beliefs. Yolton shows that Locke's account of what it
is to be human in that work is profoundly religious.Yolton's book
opens with an attempt to sort out several important terms basic to
Locke's account of identity: man, self, person, and soul. A number
of rarely examined components of Locke's thought emerge: the nature
of man, the nature of a human being, and the place of man in the
universe among the other creatures. Some will be surprised to learn
that the domain of God, angels, and spirits is a part of Locke's
universe, where it is considered the hoped-for destination of the
just.The Two Intellectual Worlds of John Locke also includes
Yolton's exploration of Locke's commitment to immaterial principles
for understanding the world; his obsession with happiness; the
dialectical tensions between man, person, and soul; several
interesting conjectures about spirits; and the notion of natural
philosophy that includes speculation about spirits as well as
bodies."
