1696 1ed John Sergeant Method to Science Philosophy John Locke Descartes Ideism
John Sergeant was a 17th-century Catholic priest known for his controversial treatises. One such work was ‘The Method to Science’, a philosophical work written to object against John Locke. According to Hutton,
“Sergeant’s critique of Locke was part of a more wide-ranging critique of what he called ‘ideists’, a category which yokes Descartes and Locke together. He targets Locke in his ‘The Method to Science’ [and] his principal objection to Locke’s epistemology was its implicit skepticism. he charged Locke that his natural philosophy failed to provide universal conclusions or maxims”.
