'Locke' Summary
Thomas Fowler's biography of John Locke offers a comprehensive portrait of the influential philosopher and physician. Fowler traces Locke's life from his early years to his influential contributions to political and social thought. The book highlights Locke's core principles of empiricism, which emphasize the importance of sensory experience and reason in acquiring knowledge.
