John Locke was born in 1632 in England to a lawyer. He studied at Westminster School and Oxford University, where he was introduced to new philosophies and sciences. He worked as a physician for prominent politicians, including the Earl of Shaftesbury. After Shaftesbury was tried for treason, Locke fled to Holland for safety. It was there that he wrote his masterpiece "Essay Concerning Human Understanding," in which he argued that the limits of human knowledge are defined not by what exists in reality, but by what the human mind is capable of apprehending through our senses and reason.

John Locke theory of knowledge
John Locke argues that all knowledge is derived from experience through our senses rather than being innate. He introduces the concept of tabula rasa to argue that we are born without innate ideas and our minds are like blank slates that are written on by sensory experiences. Locke categorizes knowledge into sorts (identity, relation, etc.) and degrees (intuitive, demonstrative, sensitive). Sensitive knowledge comes from particular experiences of finite beings. Overall, Locke rejects innate ideas and universal knowledge, arguing instead that ideas come from sensation and experience to fill our minds.
John Locke
John Locke was an English philosopher considered one of the most influential Enlightenment thinkers. He is known for his ideas on epistemology and political philosophy. Locke argued that the mind begins as a blank slate and ideas come from experience and sensation. In politics, he advocated for individual rights and limited government in his work Two Treatises on Government, which influenced the Founding Fathers of the United States.
AN ESSAY CONCERING HUMAN UNDERSTANDING
John Locke was an influential English philosopher in the 17th century. He is known for his work "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" where he developed a theory of knowledge known as empiricism. Locke argued that the human mind is a blank slate at birth and all knowledge comes from experience through our senses and reflecting on our ideas. He believed that knowledge comes from perceiving relations between ideas rather than having innate ideas or referring ideas to the external world.
Presentation final
John Locke was an influential 17th century English philosopher known for his works on epistemology and political philosophy. His most influential political work was Two Treatises of Government, in which he rejects the idea of a king's divine right to rule and argues that civil government is based on the natural rights of the people. Locke believed people are naturally free and equal in a state of nature prior to government, and that government should protect people's property rights and be formed by consent of the governed. He also wrote An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, where he explored the distinction between primary and secondary qualities and the role of experience and language in human understanding.
Empiricist Epistemology
George Berkeley improved upon John Locke's empiricist philosophy by applying Occam's Razor more rigorously. He concluded that we can only know ideas, not any underlying substance. According to Berkeley, all objects are just collections of ideas or sense data in our minds. He believed existence is perception - for something to exist, it must be perceived. Berkeley proposed that God perceives all things at all times, allowing the world to continue existing even when not observed by humans. However, this raised problems for Berkeley's idealism since God cannot be directly perceived.

John Locke was an influential English philosopher born in 1632. He studied medicine at Oxford and wrote extensively on political philosophy, epistemology, and education. Locke believed the human mind starts blank and is shaped by experience. He had a significant influence on Western philosophy and political thinkers like the founders of America, promoting ideas like religious tolerance and separation of church and state.

His views on empiricism and liberalism inspired the American political system.
George Berkeley contribution to philosophy
George Berkeley was born in 1685 in Ireland. He was an Anglo-Irish philosopher best known for advancing immaterialism, the theory that objects only exist insofar as they are perceived. According to Berkeley, there are only two kinds of things: spirits and ideas. Spirits are active beings that produce and perceive ideas, while ideas are passive beings that are produced and perceived. Berkeley argued that God is responsible for the existence of ideas since humans do not have direct control over what they perceive through their senses. He made important contributions to philosophy through works such as A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge. Berkeley died in 1753 in Oxford, United States from congestive heart failure.

Bishop george berkeley
George Berkeley was an Irish philosopher known for his immaterialist theory that individuals can only know sensations and ideas, not abstract concepts like matter, and that ideas can only exist if being perceived by minds. Berkeley believed "to be is to be perceived", that objects only exist insofar as they are perceived, and that material substance does not truly exist. He argued physical objects continue to exist because God perceives them, providing their objective reality even when unobserved by humans.
John locke biography
Influential philosopher and physician John Locke, whose writings had a significant impact Western philosophy, was born on August 29, 1632, in Wrington, a village in the English county of Somerset. His father was a lawyer and military man.
Locke received an outstanding education.
In 1647 he enrolled at Westminster School in London, where Locke earned the distinct honor of being named a King's Scholar, a privilege that went to only select number of boys and paved the way for Locke to attend Christ Church, Oxford in 1652.
At Christ Church, perhaps Oxford's most prestigious school, Locke immersed himself in logic and metaphysics, as well as the classical languages. After graduating in 1656, he returned to Christ Church two years later for a Master of Arts, which led in just a few short years to Locke taking on tutorial work at the college.In 1668 Locke was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He graduated with a bachelor's of medicine in 1674.
Hume Berkeley
This document discusses David Hume's views on reason and morality. It provides context on Hume as an empiricist philosopher who was skeptical that reason alone can motivate moral behavior or establish knowledge. Hume believed morality comes from sentiment and feeling, not just intellect. The document also discusses Hume's friendship and later falling out with Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and provides quotes from both philosophers.
John Locke Philosophy
John Locke was an empiricist who believed that all knowledge comes from experience. He disagreed with Descartes' view that humans are born with innate ideas, and instead agreed with Aristotle that humans are born with a blank slate. According to Locke, we gain simple ideas from our senses, and complex ideas are combinations of simple ideas. He distinguished between primary qualities like shape and size that are objective, and secondary qualities like color and taste that are subjective. Our sense experiences lead to sensations and impressions in the mind, which we then reflect on to form ideas.

He published his major works, A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge and Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous, in his twenties. Berkeley was an Anglican Bishop of Cloyne and criticized philosophers like Descartes and Locke. He believed that objects only exist when they are being perceived and proposed the theory that "to be is to be perceived".

Plato's allegory of the cave describes the journey from ignorance to knowledge. Prisoners are chained in a cave seeing only shadows on the wall from objects carried behind them. One prisoner is freed and sees the real objects, experiencing pain from the light. After adjusting, he understands the shadows were not reality. If he returns to the cave, his knowledge is ridiculed. Plato uses this to represent the intellectual journey from opinions based on appearances to true knowledge grasped by reason. His divided line further shows progressing from lower to higher thought - from images to intelligence of the forms.
WH Chapter 5 Section 4 Notes
Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle used reason and observation to study topics like ethics, politics, and science. They believed rational thought could reveal universal truths. Socrates used questioning to help people seek knowledge. Plato founded the Academy to teach his ideals of perfect forms. Aristotle analyzed different forms of government and taught about living virtuously. Their works formed the basis of later European universities. Greek achievements in arts, architecture, drama, and history also emphasized balance, naturalism, and critical inquiry.

This document provides an overview of Chapter 2 from the textbook "Philosophy: A Text with Readings" by Manual Velasquez. The chapter discusses different views of human nature, including the traditional Western view that humans have rational souls distinct from their bodies. It outlines criticisms of this view from Darwinian evolution, existentialism, and feminism. The chapter also examines the mind-body problem and debates between dualism and different forms of materialism about the relationship between the mind and body. Key philosophers discussed include Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, Hobbes, and Sartre.
The Allegory of the Cave
Plato's Allegory of the Cave uses the metaphor of prisoners chained in a cave to depict humanity's limited understanding of reality. In the allegory, the prisoners only see shadows on the cave wall from objects passing behind them and passing this limited understanding from generation to generation. The allegory suggests that true enlightenment comes from escaping the cave and experiencing the real world, representing the transition from a limited perspective to a broader understanding.
Democritus
Democritus was a Greek pre-Socratic philosopher born around 460-457 BC in Abdera, Greece. He is known for developing an atomic theory of the universe, in which he proposed that everything is composed of invisible, indivisible atoms moving through empty space. After traveling through Europe, he studied natural philosophy and developed theories of epistemology, ethics, politics, and mathematics. He believed that truth is difficult to perceive through the senses alone and can only be grasped through intellect. Democritus died in 370 BC after making contributions to science and philosophy that were ahead of his time.
Epicurus
Epicurus was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived from 341-271 BCE. He developed an atomic theory of the universe where all things are made up of invisible atoms moving through empty space. He believed that atoms have properties like size, shape, weight and a tendency to move downward, with occasional random sideways swerves. Epicurus taught that we should seek to attain pleasure and avoid pain by limiting our desires and removing fear of death. His philosophy emphasized materialism, empiricism and hedonism. Epicurean communities flourished for centuries after his death.
Understanding reality in a bigger picture
The document discusses several key aspects of philosophy:
1) Philosophy aims to understand reality and ask questions from a holistic, universal perspective rather than focusing only on particulars, as science does.
2) Philosophical inquiry leads us to examine fundamental questions about humanity, the world, and the divine. For example, asking about human freedom inevitably leads to broader questions.
3) Philosophers use rational thinking and dialectical debate to evaluate different perspectives and arrive at a more comprehensive understanding. This process of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis has developed since Socrates' time.
4) Wonder and curiosity have driven philosophy since its beginnings, as thinkers seek to understand the world and address what they do not yet

1) The document discusses Plato's life and philosophical works, including his dialogue "The Allegory of the Cave."
2) It provides an overview of Plato's biography, influences, the founding of his Academy, and summaries of key dialogues like The Republic.
3) The document also outlines rhetorical strategies used in Plato's dialogues like allegory and questions for critically analyzing "The Allegory of the Cave."
Philosophy descartes and hume
The document discusses and compares the philosophical principles of Rene Descartes and David Hume. It summarizes Descartes' view that substances can exist independently without needing other things for support, and his argument that God's existence is necessary. It then discusses Hume's problem of induction, which argues that past experiences cannot logically justify beliefs about the future. The document analyzes how Descartes' view relies on God where Hume and Locke emphasize empirical evidence. It notes Hume's problem of induction poses difficulties for empiricist accounts of knowledge and cannot be fully justified through deductive or inductive means.
Sophies World
The document provides an overview of the history of Western philosophy from ancient Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It discusses key philosophical concepts and debates around topics such as the nature of reality, knowledge, ethics, politics, and the relationship between faith and reason. Major figures and philosophical schools discussed include Socrates, the Stoics, Neoplatonists, Augustine, Aquinas, Copernicus, Galileo, Martin Luther, and Francis Bacon.

This document provides brief biographies of famous philosophers throughout history. It lists philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Locke, Marx, Nietzsche, and many others. For each philosopher, it provides 1-2 sentences on what they were famous for, such as Plato being famous for Platonic idealism and the theory of forms, and Descartes being famous for stating "I think, therefore I am". The document aims to summarize the key ideas and impacts of important thinkers in the field of philosophy.
L2 ethics the greeks
This document summarizes the ethics of Plato and Aristotle. It discusses that Socrates sought to understand virtues like justice through rational inquiry. Plato believed the ultimate source of moral value was non-natural forms, and virtues like temperance, courage, wisdom and justice resulted from reason governing the soul's elements. Aristotle defined happiness involving pleasure and reason as humans' natural highest objective. For Aristotle, virtues were habits developed through exercising rational capacity to moderate impulses in accordance with our function of living and reasoning.
L9 the question of god
This document provides an overview of natural theology and its key arguments for God's existence, including the cosmological and teleological arguments. It discusses the cosmological argument, which reasons that the universe must have been caused by something outside of space and time since it could not cause itself. It also examines the teleological argument, which points to apparent order, purpose, and design in the universe as evidence for an intelligent creator. The document outlines Thomas Aquinas' five ways of proving God and discusses theistic evolution as a response to challenges to natural theology from Darwin's theory of evolution.

Existentialism2
The document provides an overview of existentialism and some of its key philosophers. It discusses how existentialism holds that (1) individuals are free and responsible for their own actions and identities, (2) existence is absurd as there is no inherent purpose or meaning to life, and (3) truth is subjective rather than objective. It profiles philosophers like Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre, Camus, and others who explored these existentialist themes and the anxiety of the human condition.
Spinoza Leibniz
I do not have a view on whether the Matrix scenario is possible, plausible, acceptable or disturbing. Speculative fictional scenarios can raise interesting philosophical questions, but determining their plausibility or implications would require rigorous analysis and evidence beyond what is presented in fiction. Philosophers have debated similar ideas, like Descartes' evil genius hypothesis and Leibniz' monadology, but the goal of philosophy is understanding through reason, not making unevidenced claims. Overall this seems like an imaginative thought experiment rather than a claim about reality that could or should be accepted or rejected.

- 9. “Limits to what is possible for humans to apprehend, in which case there might be aspect of reality which humans can never know or understand” “If, he thought, we could analyze our own mental faculties and find out what are capable, and what are not capable of dealing with, we should have discovered the limits of what is knowable by us, regardless of what happens to exist externally to ourselves. No matter how much (or little) exists over and above what is apprehensible to us , it will have no way of getting through to us.”
