This is the first comprehensive biography of John Locke to be published in nearly a half century. Setting Locke’, s life within exciting historical and intellectual contexts, which included the English Civil War, religious persecution, and the Glorious Revolution of 1688, Roger Woolhouse interweaves an account of Locke’, s life with a summary and development of his ideas in theory of knowledge, philosophy of science, medicine, economics, philosophy of religion, and political philosophy. Systematic and encyclopedic in its coverage, Woolhouse’, s biography offers both an account and explanation of Locke’, s ideas, while treating seriously his emotional relationship with Elinor Parry. Based on broad research and many years of study of Locke’, s philosophy, this volume is an authoritative biography on one of the most significant early modern philosophers.
