Reviews

This intelligently written, stimulating,compelling book is indeed likely to become the go-to source on Locke's views on persons and personal identity. * Diego Lucci, Journal of Early Modern Studies *


This excellent book provides an account of John Locke's views on personhood and personal identity ... Because the author's concern is essentially historical and interpretive, the book will be especially useful to those with research interests in Locke's views on these issues and his philosophical views in general. * M. A. Michael, CHOICE * This intelligently written, stimulating,compelling book is indeed likely to become the go-to source on Locke's views on persons and personal identity. * Diego Lucci, Journal of Early Modern Studies *
