DUNCAN, S., Materialism from Hobbes to Locke. Oxford University Press, 2022. 248p. Hardback. In its great clarity and remarkable conciseness, the work starts from seemingly simple considerations about both classic and familiar questions, and ends up with relatively complex and subtle ones. This subtlety and this prudence are certainly in the image of Locke's thought itself. The concise and careful expression can certainly produce from time to time in the reader eager for certainties a feeling of dissatisfaction. However, taken to its conclusion, reading the work allows one to have a clear, articulated and nuanced vision of the various philosophical questions posed by the alternative between materialism and dualism, an alternative which here plays a structuring role in the construction of the arguments developed by the authors.
