The British Empiricists offers concise, accessible introductions to the life and work of Locke, Berkeley, and Hume. John Dunn shows how Locke arrived at the theory of knowledge which he puts forward in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding. J.O. Urmson assesses Berkeley's philosophy in its relation to the thought of Newton and his predecessors, while A.J. Ayer, an esteemed philosopher in his own right, offers insight into Hume's theories of perception and self-identity, his analysis of causation, and his moral, political, and religious philosophy. Originally written for the acclaimed Past Masters series, these authoritative studies provide a unique guide to some of the most influential ideas in British philosophy.

Wayne Waxman here presents an ambitious and comprehensive attempt to link the philosophers of what are known as the British Empiricists--Locke, Berkeley, and Hume--to the philosophy of German philosopher Immanuel Kant. Much has been written about all these thinkers, who are among the most influential figures in the Western tradition. Waxman argues that, contrary to conventional wisdom, Kant is actually the culmination of the British empiricist program and that he shares their methodological assumptions and basic convictions about human thought and knowledge.

Offers an extremely bold, far-reaching, and unsuspected thesis in the history of philosophy: Aristotelianism was a dominant movement of the British philosophical landscape, especially in the field of logic, and it had a long survival. British Aristotelian doctrines were strongly empiricist in nature, both in the theory of knowledge and in scientific method; this character marked and influenced further developments in British philosophy at the end of the century, and eventually gave rise to what we now call British empiricism, which is represented by philosophers such as John Locke, George Berkeley and David Hume. Beyond the apparent and explicit criticism of the old Scholastic and Aristotelian philosophy, which has been very well recognized by the scholarship in the twentieth century and which has contributed to the false notion that early modern philosophy emerged as a reaction to Aristotelianism, the present research examines the continuity, the original developments and the impact of Aristotelian doctrines and terminology in logic and epistemology as the background for the rise of empiricism.Without the Aristotelian tradition, without its doctrines, and without its conceptual elaborations, British empiricism would never have been born. The book emphasizes that philosophy is not defined only by the ‘great names’, but also by minor authors, who determine the intellectual milieu from which the canonical names emerge. It considers every single published work of logic between the middle of the sixteenth and the end of the seventeenth century, being acquainted with a number of surviving manuscripts and being well-informed about the best existing scholarship in the field.

Setting the British empiricists--Locke, Berkeley, and Hume--in their contemporary and cultural context, Woolhouse examines their approaches to philosophy and their significance to 20th-century thought, and looks at what the empiricists actually have to say, rather than their classification as such.
