Abstract
- Stewart Duncan's book, "Materialism from Hobbes to Locke," provides a valuable contribution to the study of early modern materialism, specifically focusing on Hobbes and Locke in the English context. Duncan also includes chapters on anti-Hobbesian arguments by More, Cudworth, and Cavendish, as well as an epilogue on Toland and Collins. The book explores different versions of materialism in the seventeenth century and highlights the influence of other philosophers, such as More and Cudworth, on Locke's thinking. Duncan argues that Locke's work allows for a materialist account of the human mind. Overall, the book offers new insights into familiar topics and is a valuable resource for scholars of early modern philosophy. [Extracted from the article]
