John Locke: A Discourse of Miracles. Resurrectio et quae sequuntur
Abstract
A Discourse on Miracles and Resurrectio et quae sequuntur are the first Polish translations of John Locke’s two minor treatises on religious matters. In presenting his understanding of miracles and the resurrection, Locke tries to reconcile the content of Scripture with the principles of reason, including those of his philosophy. The limitation of knowledge to what was certain opened a field for religious speculations, but also in these reason played the role of a guarantor of their non-contradiction. The issues of miracles and the resurrection allow for a better interpretation of the problems that Locke discusses in his Essay Concerning Human Understanding, such as the relation of empirical cognition to speculative philosophy, personal identity, and corporeality.
Keywords
