A l'origine de toute connaissance, l'Essai sur l'entendement humain (écrit entre 1671 et 1700), veut reconnaître le seul exercice des pouvoirs intellectuels de l'homme. Graduellement, de la simple perception jusqu'au raisonnement, Locke montre que notre pouvoir de penser ne découvre son étendue et ses limites qu'en s'exerçant. Ainsi lu, l'Essai apparaît comme un projet radical. Tous les principes reçus de la tradition (la « substance », ou les « idées innées ») y sont évalués au regard de cette exigence : rendent-ils compte de la manière dont nous pouvons au mieux employer nos facultés ? Héritier de Descartes pour la critique des obscurités philosophiques, Locke s'en émancipe ainsi du même mouvement. En fondant toute connaissance sur la seule opération de perception, et non sur la « substance pensante », il crée une percée qui sera investie par nombre de philosophies ultérieures.

First published in 1689, John Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding is widely recognised as among the greatest works in the history of Western philosophy. The Essay puts forward a systematic empiricist theory of mind, detailing how all ideas and knowledge arise from sense experience. Locke was trained in mechanical philosophy and he crafted his account to be consistent with the best natural science of his day. The Essay was highly influential and its rendering of empiricism would become the standard for subsequent theorists. This Companion volume includes fifteen new essays from leading scholars. Covering the major themes of Locke's work, they explain his views while situating the ideas in the historical context of Locke's day and often clarifying their relationship to ongoing work in philosophy. Pitched to advanced undergraduates and graduate students, it is ideal for use in courses on early modern philosophy, British empiricism and John Locke.
