In this scholarly work, Edward Tagart defends John Locke's philosophy against the criticisms of David Hume. He argues that Hume's skepticism was not a result of Locke's thinking, but rather a departure from it. Tagart conducts a thorough analysis of Locke's ideas on knowledge, perception, and causality, shedding light on one of the most important figures in Western philosophy.
