Gives an account of the content of Locke's logic of ideas and places it in a context that takes into account the often complicated relation between content and structure of works on logic by Sanderson, Arnauld and Malebranche, in the process allowing us to refine the notion of 'a marked discontinuity' in the development of logic in the 17C. This sets the stage for a discussion of the structure of Locke's logic. (Quotes from original text)
