John Locke on Imagination and the Passions (Continuum Studies in British Philosophy)

James G. Buickerood

4.9/5 (16003 ratings)

Description:John Locke is typically portrayed as having been unreservedly critical of human imagination and passions because the first threatens to pervert and interfere with our grasp of reality, and the second tend to lead to immoral behavior and to confused and biased thought. His unpublished manuscripts show him to have had a broad, keen, long-standing interest in both subjects from a variety of perspectives--logical, educational, medical and moral--and to have had a much more subtle and complex understanding of these two subjects than scholars recognize. James G. Buickerood's book balances what Locke took to be the bona fide contributions of imagination and passions to human understanding and moral conduct with the more familiar critical and advisory remarks, and argues that imagination and the passions of uneasiness and desire are essential to the moral agent's decision to engage in morally acceptable conduct.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
