Reviews
Jolley's book is an excellent contribution to this emerging area of Locke studies and one scholars will no doubt be engaging for years to come. It is one of those rare books most will wish were 100 or 150 pages longer than it is. * Benjamin Hill, Journal of the History of Philosophy *
All in all, Locke's Touchy Subjects is a provocative reading of Locke that puts due focus on some of the less attended to writings. There are some very intriguing and persuasive arguments woven together from what we find in the Essay and other writings...Jolley portrays Locke the theist and the philosopher committed both to scripture and to some very unorthodox (and even revolutionary) philosophical ideas. * Shelley Weinberg, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online *
