Book Overview

Locke's Theory of Knowledge: With a Notice of Berkeley is a book written by James McCosh in 1884. The book is a detailed analysis and critique of the philosophical ideas put forth by the English philosopher John Locke in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding. McCosh provides a thorough explanation of Locke's theory of knowledge, which emphasizes the importance of experience and sensory perception in the formation of human understanding. He also discusses the ways in which Locke's ideas influenced subsequent philosophical thought, particularly the work of George Berkeley.
