Provide a summary about the book 'John Locke' by Samuel Rickless. 'John Locke belongs to that important portion of philosophical thought that considers the nature of man, society, government, law and freedom, and their role as constituents of the universe about us.'
The book analyses John Locke who was considered as one of founding members within the Liberal tradition and he called himself an 'Over-labourer' as he supported the movement of the Scientific Revolution throughout the 17th Century.
This work provides a scholarly, critical overview on the ideas of John Locke on a variety of topics. It argues that Locke has profound influence on modern philosophy, especially debates about reality and overall human knowledge including ethics and politics. Why is this important? Well it is because it proves his ideas are pertinent and valuable not only for academics but also for policy makers and educationalists today.
Samuel Rickless does a great job of putting together this encompassing study on the major works of John Locke such as his An Essay and The Treatise on Government (plus others). This allows the reader to understand Locke through different lenses while ending up being more informed overall about why his persistent views hold valuable insights into humanity today.
In a clear-sighted survey of one of liberalism's founding figures in philosophy who identified himself as a "Self-Employed Aristocrat" aiming to bolster the nascent revolutionary twentieth-century scientific enterprise the author supplies the full spectrum of highly potent John Lockeian doctrines that are enormously influential even to this day, putting them at the core of philosophical and human and moral and social debates, and rigorously assesses the prominence of human understanding.
