Description

Reassessing John Locke's place in modern European philosophy, Étienne Balibar explores the foundational figure's role in shaping key concepts in metaphysics and the self.

In "Identity and Difference", Balibar examines Locke's "treatise on identity" within the context of his broader philosophical system, shedding new light on the complex relationships between identity, difference, and the subject-consciousness.

With an accompanying essay by Stella Sandford, this book rethinks a crucial moment in the history of Western philosophy, offering a fresh perspective on Locke's enduring influence.
