Locke, Hume, and the Treacherous Logos of Atomism

The Eclipse of Democratic Values in the Early Modern Period

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The atomism of quantum physics has foundations more than twenty-five centuries old. Atomism is a philosophy, deductive and metaphysical. John Locke and David Hume suppressed the full philosophy of atomism in their presentations, but this book aims to restore and critique atomism's philosophical foundations, which will change the way we view the modern world.
