John Locke, botany and natural kinds

该项目将提高澳大利亚早期现代科学和哲学研究的地位。这是一个在洛克研究和植物学史上具有重大意义的项目，它将影响澳大利亚人已经做出重大贡献的一些当前哲学辩论：生物物种的性质;自然种类;和科学方法。那些在澳大利亚研究早期现代思想的人也将受益于悉尼大学和牛津大学之间建立的密切关系。该项目发行的出版物将具有国际意义。

This project will enhance the status of research into early modern science and philosophy in Australia. It is a project of major significance in Locke studies and in the history of botany and it will impinge on a number of current philosophical debates to which Australians are already making a major contribution: the nature of biological species; natural kinds; and scientific method. Those who work on early modern thought in Australia will also benefit from the close relationship that will be established between the University of Sydney and Oxford University. The publications issuing from the project will be of international significance.
