Che cosa significava il nome di Locke e la sua opera nel Settecento italiano e quale era il Locke che veniva letto nella Penisola? Per i seguaci di Newton e della nuova filosofia da un lato e per i critici dell'Illuminismo dall'altro il pensiero metafisico, pedagogico, economico e politico lockiano, dai primi decenni del Settecento in poi, prima ancora della censura papale, fu un costante riferimento d'ispirazione o di critica, fu una presenza significativa.

Abstract
What did Locke's name mean and which of his works were read in 18th-century Italy? For the disciples of Newton and the new philosophy on the one hand, and for the critics of the Enlightenment on the other hand, from the first decades of the eighteenth century onwards - even before the papal censorship - Locke's metaphysical, pedagogical, economic and political thought was a constant source of inspiration or criticism: it was a significant presence.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
