- Matthew Stuart offers a fresh interpretation of John Locke's 'Essay Concerning Human Understanding', arguing for the work's profound contribution to metaphysics. He presents new readings of Locke's accounts of personal identity and the primary/secondary quality distinction, and explores Locke's case against materialism and his philosophy of action.
