At least that is the way I interpreted it. <br />The second type of philosopher is more interested in examining the particular nature of the human condition, all biases and self preference aside. This kind of philosopher wants the cold truth, albeit if there is none. <br /><br />Philosophy that is clear to the ordinary person I would consider to be more practical. While there are some things that simply are left best said in more complex specific terms, there are also lots of ways that philosophy can be simplified so that it is more clearly understood by the ordinary person. One of the perils of our society is that most people are not able to comprehend difficult philosophy, but they may still ponder and look for the same answers to their questions as philosophers.

I believe the example he uses in the Treatise is the idea of red. The impression of red and the idea of red blend together. <br />Complex impressions and ideas have more noticeable differences. The example he uses of this is apple. The impression of the apple may evoke some sort of joy or repulsion, depending on prior interactions of overall apple experience. The idea of the apple is complex, because different qualities of the apple can be thought of separately, such as the stem, leaf, and color. <br /><br />humeshumans.blogspot.com <br />Lindsay Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669526870955378137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-85812635925272557352016-05-31T23:37:35.989-04:002016-05-31T23:37:35.989-04:00http://jeremymashphilosophy.blogspot.com/http://jeremymashphilosophy.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522578773944967127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-26667824459590793402016-05-31T15:26:22.065-04:002016-05-31T15:26:22.065-04:00http://kylesphilblog.blogspot.com/2016/05/phil-404...http://kylesphilblog.blogspot.com/2016/05/phil-4040-week-1.html<br /><br />Gonna update sometime this evening.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001197098899214372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-72866279113151814822016-05-31T12:38:33.201-04:002016-05-31T12:38:33.201-04:00Here is the address to my blog: https://regimesofm...Here is the address to my blog: https://regimesofmadness.com/<br /><br /><br />Brian KobylarzAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352016032819425620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-261157133664710872014-02-11T09:27:46.170-05:002014-02-11T09:27:46.170-05:00It seems to me that the mere instance of the publi...It seems to me that the mere instance of the public recognizing that authority has been delegated from the principal to the agent does not necessarily make it a fact in any real sense. If it is true that to enter into a principal-agent relationship is, in a sense, to enter into a contract between the parties, then the common law states that the parties must demonstrate the intent to be bound by the terms of that contract. This rule of intent applies not only in American contract law, but also in international conventional (treaty) law. So in the case of the slave and master as agent and principal, the argument can be made that teh agent had no intention of contracting with the principal, rendering their principal-agent relationship untenable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-51853115636736266522011-02-15T09:04:10.382-05:002011-02-15T09:04:10.382-05:00This is my Good luck that I found your post which ...This is my Good luck that I found your post which is according to my search and topic, I think you are a great blogger, thanks for helping me outta my problem..<br /><a href="http://www.dissertationwritings.co.uk/dissertation_topics.htm" rel="nofollow">Free Dissertation Topics List</a>stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297490162493730359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-60113128593112403442008-05-08T12:03:00.000-04:002008-05-08T12:03:00.000-04:00I am not sure exaclty what you are trying to say, ...I am not sure exaclty what you are trying to say, but i think you are saying that the mind and body are distinct because the mind can only be free if it is seperate from the body.

He says the soul and the body are two separate things. Therefore, we can not trust the sensory information because it does not come from the thinking aspect of ourselves (the soul). All info from sensory methods are questionable. Why should we disregard the body and sensory perception? Why would God (supreme being) give us a body if it weren't for some reason. Why would God give us a useless body? Descartes concludes that God is perfect and could do no wrong, yet he questions what god gave us. God would not decieve us in any way, according to Descartes. The soul and the body have a connection and I think the body can help us sort out what is real and fake. How exactly? I don't know. But "I think therefore I am" I think not. We're not that simple.Noemi Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788376295071548269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-13023934299995786462008-03-10T18:52:00.000-04:002008-03-10T18:52:00.000-04:00When I look at the wax example by Descartes it mak...When I look at the wax example by Descartes it makes me think about the infinite number of objects that this applies to. A change in form doesn't mean the object never existed. Descartes also recognizes that he can not doubt this. However, he doubts whether we are real? Can't we be as the wax paper was? Can't our bodies take a different form yet still be recognized as a real thing? What if our thoughts are as thw wax paper and take various forms that we are not yet aware of. When someone is cremated, there body is no longer in the same form but we can't doubt it existed. Descartes definitely doesn't apply the wax paper theory to the human body.Noemi Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788376295071548269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-37377746587776002542008-03-07T22:29:00.000-05:002008-03-07T22:29:00.000-05:00I think decartes is absouluty right in the way he ...I think decartes is absouluty right in the way he describes how dreams are so hard to distinquish from being real or being asleep. Its funny how even though if I'm have a dream that should involve pain, i've never felt it, but you don't think, gee, why didn't I feel that? The argument you could also make is that i've also caught myself in REAL life, and thought at times, am I dreaming?roachcoach1186https://www.blogger.com/profile/04386651888359367162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-31823095481559309402008-03-06T23:14:00.000-05:002008-03-06T23:14:00.000-05:00I found the idea of trying to determine whether a ...I found the idea of trying to determine whether a person is dreaming or whether they are awake interesting because from my own experiences I have found myself trying to figure out whether I have dreamt something or whether it was real. Sometimes a person can dream and when they wake up they have trouble figuring out what is true and what is not. Its kind of like being in another reality. Sometimes it hard to distinguish reality from other things. People have a tendency of being lost in their own world to get away from the problems of reality. This is what happens in dreams. Its an escape from a person problems and fears in the world.SHANESSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005367738752661857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-35960032781677118992008-03-06T23:08:00.000-05:002008-03-06T23:08:00.000-05:00Our body and mind need each other, no matter what....Our body and mind need each other, no matter what.

If it is a "body" and is known to "occupy space" it must have depth and dimension. Every item in the world must have a length, width, and height in order to exist in the world. Two- dimensions only exist on paper, and perhaps in dreams? BUt never as an extended thing in our world. However, I believe the two are necessary to remain- extended things (which consume shape ans space) and temporal extensions (in order to have hard proof of the actual existence of that extended object, where, when, and what was there, and in what mammer?) Both aspects are crucial in order to be "real" and factual.Gabrielle Pescatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077975025158168094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119628988157910657.post-22243353564168920292008-02-27T00:25:00.000-05:002008-02-27T00:25:00.000-05:00I agree with Isabella, that when she said that peo...I agree with Isabella, that when she said that people make history more interesting than it really is.
