Analytical philosophy & Logical Positivism

The rise and fall of British Empiricism is philosophy's most dramatic example of pushing premises to their logical--and fatal--conclusions. Born in 1690 with the appearance of Locke's Essay, Empiricism flourished as the reigning school until 1739 when Hume's Treatise strangled it with its own cinctures after a period of Berkeley's optimistic idealism. The Empiricists collects the key writings on this important philosophy, perfect for those interested in learning about this movement with just one book.

David Hume (1711-1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist, who is best known today for his highly influential system of radical philosophical empiricism, skepticism, and naturalism.As well as his Essays, which were republished and expanded throughout his life, he wrote A Treatise of Human Nature.

Reviews for The Empiricists: Locke: Concerning Human Understanding; Berkeley: Principles of Human Knowledge &3 Dialogues; Hume: Concerning Human Understanding & Concerning Natural Religion

Among the many experimental protocols described in this book are methods for visualizing, manipulating, and assaying telomeres and telomerase activity. The protocols are written clearly and should serve as a useful laboratory resource for anyone wishing to learn how to study these entities. The book has a utilitarian look and feel, and while illustrations are not a major feature of the book, the ones that are included are of adequate quality. This book is intended and written as a laboratory guide manual. It would be quite useful for anyone doing bench research on telomeres and telomerase. - Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
