The actual text of the \u003ci\u003eEssay\u003c\/i\u003e, in stark contrast, takes a long and seemingly meandering path before returning to that goal at the \u003ci\u003eEssay\u003c\/i\u003e's end--one with many detours through questions in philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and philosophy of language. Over time, Locke scholarship has come to focus on Locke's contributions to these parts of philosophy. In \u003ci\u003eLocke's Science of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e, Priselac refocuses on the \u003ci\u003eEssay\u003c\/i\u003e's epistemological thread, arguing that the \u003ci\u003eEssay\u003c\/i\u003e is unified from beginning to end around its compositional theory of ideas and the active role Locke gives the mind in constructing its thoughts. To support the plausibility and demonstrate the value of this interpretation, Priselac argues that--contrary to its reputation as being at best sloppy and at worst outright inconsistent--Locke's discussion of skepticism and account of knowledge of the external world fits neatly within the Essay's epistemology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatthew Priselac is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oklahoma, USA \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 05, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47345223794937,"sku":"9780367258429","price":103.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TzVocHBzVmZvbWJiejdyU29RcnBoQT09.webp?v=1769742528","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/lockes-science-of-knowledge-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
