    Locke vs. Knowledge Innatism In this paper‚ I will explore the topic of knowledge innatism and define what it is and what it isn’t‚ Locke’s objections to it‚ and responses to these objections.

    infinite number of ways of examining love and religion but none of them can be taken as fact and none of them can be guaranteed as false. In this paper‚ I will examine the ways that Rene Descartes and Saint Augustine examine their lives and what they feel makes their life worth living. In the Meditations‚ Descartes attempts to doubt everything that is possible to doubt. He is uncertain of the existence of many things from God and himself.

    Substance Esha Jain Descartes and Spinoza are both regarded as rationalists‚ and for good reason. There is quite a bit of similarity in the methodology used by both modern philosophers as they try to make sense of the world and establish what is true. Both philosophers have implemented an orderly way to construct their arguments as a way to seek the perfect‚ whole truth. One essential truth that both Descartes and Spinoza strive to understand is on the matter of substance. Descartes implores the possibility

Compare and contrast Hobbes’ and Locke’s arguments‚ with specific reference both to their reading of the “state of nature” and the kind of contract that each imagines to exist in the very concept of a governed community.

    Both Descartes and Berkeley had a thesis of mediate perception. These theses however‚ were not the same. The difference‚ you see‚ is in how they perceive physical objects. Descartes develops a somewhat realist view in his meditations while Berkeley argues that his non-realist perception can sufficiently account for anything a realist would be able to with their system of philosophy. Essentially‚ Berkeley states that what Descartes believes as corporeal is simply a false understanding of the ideas
