John Locke Primary Qualities

According to Locke’s views on primary qualities of objects are qualities that never change, no matter how hard you try to break them, the qualities will remain the same. Primary qualities also create ideas for us because of the qualities in that specific object. For example, having the idea of a flower, all the parts of the flower remain the same, but the secondary qualities of that flower or the ideas in me would be the color of it, yellow, red, etc. and the texture. Locke discusses how primary qualities produce ideas in us because of impulse, by this he means there needs to be some signal sent to our brain for us to have ideas about them. His views on secondary qualities are the qualities that have the ability to give us feelings that come
from the primary qualities such as sounds, tastes, colors, etc. Secondary qualities ideas are produced by insensible particles of our senses meaning we depend on our perception and senses of the object and not on the primary qualities because the ideas of color, taste, smell, etc. don’t exist in those objects. Berkeley proposes arguments on primary and secondary qualities of objects, they are both ideas in the mind and they can’t be separated from each other. Berkeley believes primary and secondary qualities are both ideas in the mind because since the qualities of motion, extension, figure, etc. can’t be separated from color, taste, smell, etc. they can only be in the mind. He believes you can’t think of a body that is extended without its secondary qualities. He also believes that primary and secondary qualities are based on the perceiver meaning people see different things at different angles. For example, if someone is looking at sculpture up close, that person can see all the details, colors, lines, etc. While if another person is farther away from it, they’re not going to be able to see every detail on it.
