Philosophy for busy people. Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Locke in just one hour.
Much of Locke’s thought we would now regard as common sense. One of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers; his philosophy was to lay the foundations of empiricism with its belief that our knowledge of the world is based on experience. Locke’s work introduced the idea of liberal democracy – a concept that has become the shibboleth of Western civilisation. People who can’t even spell philosophy are now likely to accept these ideas; just over three centuries ago they were incomprehensible.
This is an audiobook that depicts Locke’s life and his philosophical ideas. It’s entertainingly written and above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Locke’s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Locke in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.
Eleştirmen yorumları
‘Well-written, clear and informed, they have a breezy wit about them . . .I find them hard to stop reading.’ New York Times
‘Witty, illuminating, and blessedly concise’ Wall Street Journal
‘Each of these little books is witty and dramatic and creates a sense of time, place, and character . . . I cannot think of a better way to introduce oneself and one's friends to Western civilization.’ Boston Globe
‘A godsend in this era of the short attention span.’ New York Times
What made the experience of listening to Locke: Philosophy in an Hour the most enjoyable?
The off the cuff definition of structuralism was superb. Strathern is brilliant - it's Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy meets the History of Western Philosophy with a good dose of John Aubrey. When it comes to philosophy primers, many are called, few are chosen: this series is up there.The Dog's Bollocks

I like this series very much. I will definitely buy some more from the same series as soon as I get some credits and catch up with my audiobooks.
Again, very recommended.
Interesting piece of history

It is very informative and it is a must listen to all students of politics and philosophy alike. I would rather call this work a very short introduction to the life and the main ideas of Locke. I highly recommend this work.
