Locke: A Guide for the Perplexed by Patricia Sheridan

John Locke is a clear and lucid writer who wrote on many subjects and founded many new schools of thought. This title presents a concise and coherent overview of Locke. It is suitable for second- or third-year undergraduates who require more than just a simple introduction to his work and thought.

"Locke is one of the most perplexing if modern philosophersAlthough the broad outlines of his empiricist project in the Essay are clear enough, many of the specific topics he treats there such as the source, nature, and function of ideas, the workings of language, personal identity, etc. have perplexed his readers right up to the present. It is precisely on these topics that Sheridan's clear and cogent book offers judicious and helpful guidance." - Thomas M. Lennon, University of Western Ontario, Canada
[This book] will be useful to undergraduate students who are seeking to obtain a workable, lightly contextualised grasp of Locke's big ideas in order to compare them to the ideas of other philosophers. -- Locke Studies
