John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding begins with a
clear statement of an epistemological goal: to explain the limits
of human knowledge, opinion, and ignorance. The actual text of the
Essay, in stark contrast, takes a long and seemingly meandering
path before returning to that goal at the Essay's end-one with many
detours through questions in philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and
philosophy of language. Over time, Locke scholarship has come to
focus on Locke's contributions to these parts of philosophy. In
Locke's Science of Knowledge, Priselac refocuses on the Essay's
epistemological thread, arguing that the Essay is unified from
beginning to end around its compositional theory of ideas and the
active role Locke gives the mind in constructing its thoughts. To
support the plausibility and demonstrate the value of this
interpretation, Priselac argues that-contrary to its reputation as
being at best sloppy and at worst outright inconsistent-Locke's
discussion of skepticism and account of knowledge of the external
world fits neatly within the Essay's epistemology.
