Materialism from Hobbes to Locke
Duncan, Stewart (Associate Professor of Philosophy, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Florida)
This book explores a pivotal debate in seventeenth-century European philosophy about the nature of human beings-whether they are purely material things, or whether they have an immaterial soul that thinks and can survive the death of the body. It traces this debate from the work of the materialist philosopher Thomas Hobbes, through the responses of three of his critics-the Platonists Henry More and Ralph Cudworth, and the materialist Margaret Cavendish-to thediscussion of materialism in John Locke's Essay concerning Human Understanding. Stewart Duncan probes the thought and debates that originated in the seventeenth-century yet extended far beyond it, and it offers a distinctive, new understanding of Locke's discussion of the human mind.
