Consciousness in Locke
Shelley Weinberg
Reviews and Awards
"...an important book which treats Locke as the deeply systematic philosopher he surely is." -- Matthew Priselac, Locke Studies
"Weinberg's Consciousness in Locke is an important study of an area of Locke's thought that has been relatively neglected in recent years. She displays an impressive knowledge not only of Locke's texts but also of the secondary literature; her command of the recent literature (some of it as yet unpublished) is particularly impressive. Weinberg also makes some fascinating and illuminating connections between Locke's views on consciousness and the phenomenological theories of Brentano and contemporary work by Uriah Kriegel ... as a sustained attempt to offer a sympathetic overall reading of Locke's theory of consciousness, this book is a valuable contribution to the literature." -- Nicholas Jolley, mind
"this is a rich and stimulating book!...This book is important to Locke scholarship as well as to those who are interested in the history of theories of consciousness...It is a model of good historical scholarship." -- Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online
"I strongly recommend Weinberg's excellent book. It will certainly be an enormously valuable resource for scholarly work on Locke's philosophical psychology for many years to come." -- Journal of the History of Philosophy
