About this ebook
You’re Maddie Conover, and you were home last week, but your husband, Seth, reported you missing. The police find blood evidence of foul play, and are convinced Seth murdered you, but it all turns out to be a misunderstanding until your bank confirms you wired your life’s savings to a vulgar old man you’ve never met. You confront the old man and are shocked to learn he has videos that prove you were involved in a deeply sexual relationship with him last week. But you’re about to realize these are the least of your problems!
PRELIMINARY REVIEWS:
“As an author, I find myself asking the same question Locke’s fans always ask: where does he come up with this stuff?”
“While Our Little Secret represents a departure from most of Locke’s other novels, it is just as addictive and compelling. I finished it in one sitting!”
“In today’s literary world where so many authors trot out the same tired plot lines year after year, it’s refreshing to see John Locke continuing to craft highly original stories. Our Little Secret will keep you guessing from start to finish.”
John Locke
John Locke kommt 1632 im englischen Wrington zur Welt. Nach dem Besuch der Westminster School in London studiert Locke bis 1658 in Oxford. Zwischen 1660 und 1664 lehrt er dort Philosophie, Rhetorik und alte Sprachen. Sein enzyklopädisches Wissen und seine Studien in Erkenntnistheorie, Naturwissenschaften und Medizin bringen ihm früh die Mitgliedschaft in der Royal Society ein. Als Sekretär und Leibarzt des Earl of Shaftesbury ist Locke in Folge der politischen Machtkämpfe in England gezwungen, ins holländische Exil zu fliehen. Erst 1689 kehrt er nach England zurück und widmet sich auf seinem Landgut seinen Studien. Im selben Jahr erscheint anonym Ein Brief über Toleranz, der die ausschließliche Aufgabe des Staates im Schutz von Leben, Besitz und Freiheit seiner Bürger bestimmt. Die hier formulierten Ideen finden in der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung ihren politischen Widerhall. Lockes Hauptwerk, der Versuch über den menschlichen Verstand, erscheint erst 1690 vollständig, wird aber vermutlich bereit 20 Jahre früher begonnen. Es begründet die Erkenntnistheorie als neuzeitliche Form des Philosophierens, die besonders in der französischen Aufklärung nachwirkt. Locke lehnt darin Descartes' Vorstellung von den eingeborenen Ideen ab und vertritt einen konsequenten Empirismus. Aus der theoretischen Einsicht in die Begrenztheit der Erkenntnisfähigkeit ergibt sich für Locke die Forderung, daß sich weder ein Staatssouverän noch eine Glaubensgemeinschaft im Besitz der allein gültigen Wahrheit wähnen darf. Der mündige Bürger, der in der Lage ist, kritisch selbst zu entscheiden, wird konsequenterweise zum pädagogischen Ziel Lockes. John Locke stirbt 1704 als europäische Berühmtheit auf seinem Landsitz in Oates.
