Locke even went as far as to spend his entire book I in his “ESSAY CONCERNING HUMAN UNDERSTANDING” attacking innatism. They not only believe that all ideas derive from experience but they strongly oppose innatism. Descartes believed in innatism‚ that we are born with ideas and knowledge in our minds already

and Hume. Descartes’s “Meditations on First Philosophy” and Hume’s “Treatise of Human Nature” focus on the reliability of their overall search for knowledge based off of their experiences. On one hand‚ French philosopher‚ Rene Descartes‚ fails to trust the reliability of his senses due to his belief that an outside force could be manipulating his perception of the world.

characteristics in question form a personality‚ which a person merely possesses as a holding‚ a constitutive of personal consciousness. On this view‚ a person can change their personality without having their identity annihilated in the strict sense implied by Hume‚ because one’s personality as well as the personality traits is constitutive of personal identity.

4. Discussion It is suggested that electrospun PLA/CS/Wax scaffold as a suitable substrate for neural tissue engineering. It can provide a biocompatibility environment similar to ECM that supports cells growth‚ adherence‚ and differentiation and it can be simply patterned. In this study‚ the growth‚ viability‚ and differentiation of mESCs was examined on PLA/CS/Wax scaffold. Because of pluripotency and individual properties of mESCs‚ they can be considered as a potential promise for cell replacement
