    John Locke

    John Locke kommt 1632 im englischen Wrington zur Welt. Nach dem Besuch der Westminster School in London studiert Locke bis 1658 in Oxford. Zwischen 1660 und 1664 lehrt er dort Philosophie, Rhetorik und alte Sprachen. Sein enzyklopädisches Wissen und seine Studien in Erkenntnistheorie, Naturwissenschaften und Medizin bringen ihm früh die Mitgliedschaft in der Royal Society ein. Als Sekretär und Leibarzt des Earl of Shaftesbury ist Locke in Folge der politischen Machtkämpfe in England gezwungen, ins holländische Exil zu fliehen. Erst 1689 kehrt er nach England zurück und widmet sich auf seinem Landgut seinen Studien. Im selben Jahr erscheint anonym Ein Brief über Toleranz, der die ausschließliche Aufgabe des Staates im Schutz von Leben, Besitz und Freiheit seiner Bürger bestimmt. Die hier formulierten Ideen finden in der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung ihren politischen Widerhall. Lockes Hauptwerk, der Versuch über den menschlichen Verstand, erscheint erst 1690 vollständig, wird aber vermutlich bereit 20 Jahre früher begonnen. Es begründet die Erkenntnistheorie als neuzeitliche Form des Philosophierens, die besonders in der französischen Aufklärung nachwirkt. Locke lehnt darin Descartes' Vorstellung von den eingeborenen Ideen ab und vertritt einen konsequenten Empirismus. Aus der theoretischen Einsicht in die Begrenztheit der Erkenntnisfähigkeit ergibt sich für Locke die Forderung, daß sich weder ein Staatssouverän noch eine Glaubensgemeinschaft im Besitz der allein gültigen Wahrheit wähnen darf. Der mündige Bürger, der in der Lage ist, kritisch selbst zu entscheiden, wird konsequenterweise zum pädagogischen Ziel Lockes. John Locke stirbt 1704 als europäische Berühmtheit auf seinem Landsitz in Oates.

      This was the first of John Locke's books I had read. I stumbled upon it by accident one late night after finishing a book. At such a low Nook price, I could not resist it and thought I would give it a go. I am SO glad I did. Like many of the other reviewers, I could not put this book down. If only I did not have to work, I too would have finished it in a day! I was biting my nails one minute and laughing so hard the tears were coming the next. Such a roller coaster of emotions! I just never knew what would happen when I turned the next page, and I was always in awe of the originality of what the next page held. A great read, a quick read, humor, romance (yes, romance), guns, gangsters and cheating spouses. What's not to love???

      I bought this ebook by accident (hit the wrong button on Amazon), but since it was only 99 cents I thought I'd give it a try. Worst 99 cents I've ever spent. Inane, insane, horribly convoluted plot, paper-thin characters...I read several chapters, skipped to the last chapter and realized that I'd wish I had that half hour back someday. If it hadn't been on my Kindle, I'd have thrown it against the wall.

      A $.99 special on Kindle. I haven't read John Locke before and I'm not sure I want to again. The description sounded great. It's a fast read, I'll give it that. I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 because reading it was like being in the fun house at the carnival. Part of the way through, I asked myself why I was still reading this book; my answer was, because it's just fun! Totally ridiculous situations, characters you can't really warm up to, but it's fun. The ending left me hanging. I hate that. Even so, I still give it a 4 rating. Go figure.
