1st Edition

Collected Works of John Locke

    4640 Pages
    by Routledge

    This first octavo edition of John Locke's Works has set the pattern for all subsequent English Works editions until the present time. It contains all the famous philosophical writings, as well as a life of the author based on that of Le Clerc but using a large number of unpublished letters. For the first time all correspondence is placed together, and the non-correspondence items in Desmaizeaux's Collection are repositioned to follow the relevant works. Set in context with a new introduction by Locke scholar John Yolton, this edition remains the preferred choice for many academics today.
