"Like Montagine, it's the project of an intelligent man trying to understand things. Much overlooked work as the ideas are a huge break with the past."
"This was one of the mammoth works I tackled after reading about Locke in Russell's book and hearing every enlightenment series start off with Locke and his contributions to politics as well as epistemological philosophy.
I read this for pleasure not school, and it was difficult but very rewarding. I used Locke to springboard into the study of human knowledge and he is probably the best place to start in trying to understand just what we think we know and how we could know it.
This might be a long and difficult read, but if you can get through it you are half way to the human understanding!"
