Hume on the Prospects for a Scientific Psychology
In Section One of an Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Hume distinguishes between two sorts of writing on human nature: first, one that appeals to common sense to make virtue seem attractive and, second, one that attempts to describe the principles governing the mind. Hume's defence of the second approach is in part a defence of the possibility of scientific psychology. Within the second approach, he distinguishes two parts: first, a descri…
Hume and the rotting turnip
Locke's Touchy Subjects
The two touchy subjects treated in this slim volume are the immateriality of thinking substances and existence after the resurrection. Locke's freethinking friend Anthony Collins informed him in 1704 that he was going to publish a book by Samuel Bold on those topics. Locke replies by observing that the topics are “very touchy at this time” and suggesting that Collins hold off on publishing so that Bold wouldn't be “cripled by those who will be su…
Locke's Metaphysics
Matthew Stuart has written a very good book. In ambition, scope, and attention to text, it most resembles Michael Ayers's Locke: Epistemology and Ontology. Ayers's book is over twenty years old. Stuart's book is a worthy successor, and, in some respects, a worthy replacement.Stuart sets for himself the mission of describing every part of Locke's metaphysics. He isn't especially concerned with placing these doctrines in their scientific or theolog…

How Is Descartes' Argument Against Scepticism Better Than Putnam's
‘If a person can think of an F, then that person has come into causal contact with an F in the right way’ is a premise in an obvious reconstruction of Putnam's argument that we are not brains in vats. ‘If a person can think of an F, then that person has come into causal contact with an F or with something at least as good as an F’ is the only controversial premise in Descartes' argument for the existence of God. Putnam's principle entails Descart…
Locke’s construction of the idea of power
Locke's Resemblance Theses
Locke asserts that Ideas of primary Qualities of Bodies, are Resemblances of them, and their Patterns do really exist in the Bodies themselves; But the Ideas, produced in us by these Secondary Qualities, have no resemblance of them at all. On an unsophisticated way of taking his words, he means that ideas of primary qualities are like the qualities they represent and ideas of secondary qualities are unlike the qualities they represent.2 I will sh…
