    them – in this case consciousness (Shoemaker D, 2016). In this essay I will argue that Locke’s original memory criterion is the correct account of personal identity. To do this I will refer to the merits of Locke’s criterion as well as to various objections with two main objections being that identity seems to persist through loss of memory…

    Searle and Descartes being separated by nearly four centuries provides a rough landscape for a philosophical discussion to be conducted upon. Both Searle and Descartes have inherent biases based upon their location on the timeline, Searle with modern science and Descartes with religion and the church. Being that the two are opposed, I think that Searle is able to articulate effectively his positions and respond to Descartes’ claims properly. If positioned at the same location along the timeline…

    prove that other consciousness exist, because you can’t see them. And even if in the future we were able to see another person’s subjective experience, we wouldn’t be able to tell that that being was originally conscious to begin with; you would only have the idea that there is a possibility it exists. Many philosophers argue that because we observe people acting and behaving in ways that we do, that they must have a consciousness. But if that was the way to perceive consciousness wouldn’t…

    For this paper I’m going to elaborate some more on my response to John Locke’s claims about personal identity. I initially found this passage really intriguing, and I really liked getting to discuss the text in my last paper. Then, after our class discussion, I had even more thoughts and questions about Locke’s ideas after hearing other’s perspectives.

It largely depends on everyone’s life experience, education background, even age, occupation and gender. Moreover, as a phenomenally consciousness, Qualia must contain subjective point of view.

Later texts added a fourth state of consciousness: pure consciousness. Waking consciousness relates to the outer world which regards the physical body as the self.

    Many theories have been developed to explain the phenomenon of nursing and the care the profession provides. Watson’s Theory of Human Caring does not direct or explain how nurses should act, or speak, it simply imposes awareness of human consciousness through carative factors and ideas that can be embodied differently by all individuals (Alligood, 2014, p. 88). The concept is broad and those looking for stringent rules may not be able to grasp and mold the Caritas Processes into caring science…
