John Locke and Natural Philosophy

Beschreibung

Peter Anstey presents an innovative study of John Locke's views on the method and content of natural philosophy--the study of the natural world. He argues that Locke was an advocate of the Experimental Philosophy: the new approach to natural philosophy championed by the scientists of the Royal Society who were opposed to speculative philosophy.
