| Summary |
Exploring 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 - this book 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 the discussion of materialism in John Locke's essay concerning human understanding |
