Locke's Epistemological System
Locke’s Essay concerning Human Understanding launched a century of “British Empiricism.” Professor Shelley Weinberg offers a new and comprehensive interpretation of his natural epistemology (how we have certain knowledge and justified probable beliefs about the natural world), his religious epistemology (how we have justified—or not—beliefs in revelation), and his view of intellectual and moral virtue (what we should believe and how we should act). By revealing a method of what Professor Weinberg calls “rational regulation,” she elucidates a heretofore unrecognized and unarticulated comprehensive systematicity to Locke’s epistemology, its relation to his moral theory, and the role of education in the development of intellectual (epistemic) and moral virtue.Noon-12:45pm: Josue David Cisneros, CAS Associate 2025-26, Communication
