(Paperback, NIPPOD)

Examines the interrelated positions of Rene Descartes, Thomas Hobbes, Henry More and Robert Boyle in their individual contexts and in John Locke's treatment of them. This title argues that, in this way, we can better understand Locke and his position on personal identity and immortality.

(Hardback)

One of the influential debates in John Locke's work is the problem of personal identity over time. This problem is that of how a person at one time is the same person later in time, and so can be held responsible for past actions. This title offers an emphasis on Locke's theological commitments, and those of Rene Descartes and Thomas Hobbes.
