The Empiricists by R S Woolhouse
This book sets the empiricist philosophers in context and examines their various approaches to philosophy. It concentrates primarily on the major figures - Bacon, Hobbes, Locke, Berkeley and Hume - but also discusses the unjustly neglected French philosopher Pierre Gassendi and devotes a chapter to the Royal Society of London for the Improving of Natural Knowledge, which was founded in the 1660s.
Very useful survey if the subject, with a refreshing approach which should make it attractive to students* Dr. E.J.Lowe, Dept. of Philosophy, University of Durham *
R. S. Woolhouse is Reader in Philosophy at the University of York.
