- Summary
- This collection of essays on themes in the work of John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume, provides a deepened understanding of major issues raised in the Empiricist tradition. In exploring their shared belief in the experiential nature of mental constructs, The Empiricists illuminates the different methodologies of these great Enlightenment philosophers and introduces readers to important metaphysical and epistemological issues including the theory of ideas, personal identity, and skepticism. --From publisher's description.
