In this essay I argue that the late philosopher Locke has the most compelling theory of metaphysics. First, I explain Locke’s point that all humans are born as Tabula Rasa, in order to gain basic understanding of where Locke begins his theory. Second, I discuss how Locke argues how we obtain knowledge, empiricism and representationalism, and knowledge about the work varies between strong and weak inferences. Third, I will provide counter examples to Locke’s ideas, and will explain why these counter

Knowledge is innate. That according to Plato our knowledge is inborn and I agree on that. Tulad nalang ng isang bagong panganak na sanggol. Why do they have the knowledge to cry in the first place and why do they know how to drink milk. That thing is already knowledge. Everything we do is knowledge because we do that particular thing because we have that knowledge to do it. For an example, some people ask “kailan ka natuto kumanta?” and they will answer us “inborn na to!” dahil lahi pala talaga nila

Tommy has always been an aggressive child at school and at home. He bullies all of his peers and belittles the younger kids at his elementary school. Some scientist argue that Tommy is the way he is because of the genetics he inherited from his parents, trying to prove that nature makes up his identity. Other scientist argue that he is aggressive because he was raised in an abusive home with parents that discredit him in everything he does, showing that nurture makes up his personality. Nature

When considering knowledge, Locke is interested in the ability for us to know something, the capacity of gathering and using information and understanding the limits of what we know. He believes this also leads him to realise what we perhaps, cannot know. [1] He wants to find out about the origin of our ideas. His main stand-point is that we don’t have innate ideas and he aims to get rid of the sceptical doubt about what we know. The innate ideas which Locke sets out to argue against are those which

Since people began to wonder about our history and making, there has been the question of why. Why do people do the things they do? Are these traits inherited by a person’s ancestors, or are they simply following what they observe? To begin, you must give credit to the two philosophers who initially sparked different opinions about these two ideas. Aristotle theorized, that humans are born into the world with a blank slate and their behavior and thoughts are due solely to experience (Ashcraft, 1998)

Darian Rader Kelly Fielding August 21, 2014 Psychology 101 Twins and Nature versus Nurture What makes identical or fraternal twins different from each other? A few people might say it depends on how their parents raised them, others might say that other forces such as what traits personality wise, they inherited from their family could have an effect on their way they are. This in so many words in called Nature versus Nurture. This is an interesting concept, especially involving twins and their

The debate began with John Locke 's perspective of children as “tabula rasa” meaning blank slate, when he stated that at birth we are all the same, but it is our unique “experiences that write the script of our behavioral repertoire” (Allen, Boykin, & Jagers, n. d.). His theory states that an individual 's experience

Are ideas innate or not? First, I will present the debate on innate ideas as argued by Descartes on the affirmative, and John Locke on the negative. Descartes view that we do indeed have innate ideas which comes from his meditations concerning the idea of god. While Locke would argue that we do not have innate ideas and that is rooted in his belief that all knowledge is a result of our experiences. Descartes was a French philosopher who was a rationalist. Rationalists believe that all ideas are
