8 This revised version first appeared in Martin, C. B. and Armstrong, D. M. (eds.) Locke and Berkeley (New York: Doubleday Anchor, 1968)CrossRefGoogle Scholar. It is this which has been reprinted in one or two later anthologies. The sentence quoted occurs at p. 169. (I insist nevertheless that in no version did I write the unlovely phrase ‘Cartesio-Platonist’, favoured by Hughes on his p. 170.) Since the second edition is much smoother, and since it also contains an amendment made to meet an objection by Bernard Williams, I wish that anyone making use of the paper would employ that text.
