Locke, Berkeley, Hume

174 pp. Reprinted lithographically from sheets of the first edition. "The admitted historical importance of the School of Empiricism, which prepared the way for Kant, tends to obscure the philosophical greatness as individuals of its three leading exponents. Locke is more than the founder of a school; Berkeley and Hume are more than links in a chain. The chief aim of the present study is to take each of the three in his single character as an individual thinker, and while not obscuring the relation of one to another, to give some account of the unity and balance of the views of each one, taking his philosophy as a whole. A short biographical narrative precedes the philosophical discussion in each case."
