Locke on knowledge and reality, Dicker, Georges (professor Of Philosophy)

Dicker expounds and critically discusses the main theses and arguments of each of the Essays four books, on the innatism that Locke opposes, the origin and classification of ideas, language and meaning, and knowledge, respectively. He analyses Lockes influential explorations of related topics,
including primary and secondary qualities, substance, identity, personal identity, free will, nominal and real essences, perception, and external-world skepticism, among others. Written in an analytical style that strives for clarity, the book offers careful textual analyses as well as step-by-step
reconstructions of Lockes arguments, and it references and engages with relevant work of other major philosophers and Locke commentators.
