Distinguish between (R) and (E)

where R is being a rationalist about concept acquisition and a rationalist about justification;

and E is being an empiricist about concept acquisition and an empiricist about justification

Locke:

Book I: Of Innate Notions

• Chapter I: Introduction

• section 2: Design. "This, therefore, being my purpose, to inquire into the origin, certainty, and extent of human knowledge, together with the grounds and degrees of belief, opinion, and assent--"

• Chapter II: No Innate Principles in the mind

• What reasons does Locke advance for his claim that there are no innate principles? Do those reasons also apply to ideas?

Book II: Of Ideas

• Chapter I: Of Ideas in General and Their Origin:
  • he argues that all ideas come from sensation or reflection. What does he mean by sensation? What does he mean by reflection? What reasons does he give for thinking that all ideas come from one or the other? Evaluate those reasons.
• Chapter VIII: Other Considerations Concerning Simple Ideas:
  • distinguish between ideas and qualities;
  • distinguish between primary and secondary qualities;
• Chapter IX: Of perception
  • section 8: Ideas of sensation often changed by the judgment. We are futher to consider concerning perception that the ideas we receive by sensation are often in grown people altered by the judgment without our taking notice of it."
  • Really? How could our ideas caused by sensation be changed by our judgment? Does that sound right?
