Kant Touch This

Today we gave our questions to the board and took our quiz. Then one group presented. We then had a brief and unorganized duscissin really about an array of things. I hope next class will be more structured and organized.

  1. Factual questions:
    1) True or false: Locke believed that a human person remains the same 'man' over the course of their life?
    2) Who came up with the examples of the old soldier who used to be a young boy who stole apples in order to disprove Locke's way of thinking?
    3) True or False: Berkeley believed we perceive the world indirectly, where Locke thought we perceived it directly

    Discussion Questions:
    1) What do you believe makes the person? Is it the physical body? Is is the consciousness or the memories? Or is it something else entirely?
    2) If everything we perceive is merely an idea, does that mean we ourselves are only ideas? How can this be, when ideas can only be perceived by a mind (according to Berkeley)?
