Liberating Judgment: Fanatics, Skeptics, and John Locke's Politics of Probability
by Casson, Douglas John
|
|
Examining the social and political upheavals that characterized the collapse of public judgment in early modern Europe, Casson offers an account of the achievement of liberal democracy and self-government. He explores the breakdown of the medieval understanding of knowledge and opinion, and considers how Montaigne's skepticism and Descartes' rationalism -- interconnected responses to the crisis -- involved a pragmatic submission to absolute rule. | |
