1697réf. 243681697 John LOCKE Commonplace Book BIBLE Interpretation Miracles Demons Angels "I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts." – John Locke John Locke was without question one of the world's most important philosophical thinkers. He published books on human understanding and was the first to describe the idea of 'blank state' of the mind. However in 1685 Locke published the first of his 'commonplace books' in which he described the formulas for understanding ideas quotations and sayings. This style of writing proved effective for learners so many other writers began publishing common-place books to build on the popularity established by Locke. One such work was "A Commonplace Book to the Holy Bible" – an anonymously published supplement to scripture reading and interpretation. It provides extensive descriptions on the character of God the relationship between Christ and the church on saints and the roles and duties believers. This book has long been attributed to John Locke but this attribution has been contested in modern scholarship.

1991réf. 384156Oxford UK: Clarendon Press 1991. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover set complete in two volumes both with bright dust jackets. Locke on Money presents for the first time the entire body of the philosopher's writings on this important subject other than Two Treatises of Government. Accurate texts together with an apparatus listing variant readings and significant manuscript changes record the evolution of Locke's ideas from the original 1668-74 paper on interest to the three pamphlets on interest and coinage published in the 1690s. The introduction by Patrick Hyde Kelly establishes the wider context of Locke's writings in terms of contemporary debates on these subjects the economic conditions of the time and the circumstances of writing and publication. It shows notably that Locke's supposed responsibility for the 1696 recoinage is a myth. The account of what Locke derived from Mercantilist writings and of how he reformulated these in accordance with his philosophy illuminates his contribution to the evolution of economics and will aid reappraisal of Two Treatises. The picture that emerges confirms Locke's status as major economic thinker contrary to the prevalent view of recent decades. There are two volumes in the edition. The first contains the introductory matter and the texts of the Early Writings on Interest 1688-74 and Some Considerations. The second comprises Short Observations Further Considerations and the Appendices Bibliography and Index. 664 total pages. Name on front fly leaf in Vol. 1 otherwise clean.

1991réf. 383961Oxford UK: The Voltaire Foundation 1991. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover in blue cloth gilt lettering on spine 251 pages. As France moved from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century it found itself in the grip of anglomanie - a fascination with new English ideas in the domains of science and philosophy. Chief among the English thinkers it enthusiastically embraced was John Locke. On his visits to France and in his personal correspondence Locke interacted with prominent French thinkers scientists and savants of the day such as Charles Barbeyrac and Pierre Magnol and his works engaged in a critical dialogue with those of Descartes. However Locke has been fêted to such an extent that his position in the history of ideas in France is often overlooked. In Locke in France 1688-1734 Ross Hutchison re-examines and re-contextualises the precise nature and extent of Locke's influence in France by exploring how his ideas were incorporated into contemporary French debates and controversies in the transitional period from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century. Hutchison highlights the various channels of dissemination which brought Locke to the attention of the French including translations of his major works and his personal friendships with French Protestant exiles. Hutchison also presents case studies of interactions in which Lockean ideas played a dominant role in the evolution of French thought ranging from political theory to the nature of language theories of education and the relation between soul and matter.
