Reviews

A Companion to Locke is a splendid collection of essays by an international team of distinguished scholars. The breadth of its coverage will make it an invaluable resource for specialists and students alike. Nicholas Jolley, University of California, Irvine This is an extremely valuable resource both for entry-level students and for experts. Stuart has put together a distinguished group of scholars writing on a wide range of topics; the resulting volume will prove a springboard for the next stage in the development of studies of Locke's philosophy. Edwin McCann, University of Southern California The volume offers a very valuable commentary on most aspects of Locke's philosophy. Broadly conceived and written by leading and younger Locke scholars, it offers what is perhaps the best available commentary of its kind on the founder of both modern empiricism and liberal political philosophy. John Rogers, Keele University
