1) Plato has the theory of forms, in which he believed there are two realities. The first
Reality, would be the world that we live in, and the second would be the non-physical world where the forms would actually exist. For example: a cylinder exists in the non-physical world, but in our world the toilet paper role would be a copy to represent the form of a cylinder. Locke offers the casual theory of perception. It’s the belief that we start life with a blank slate. He claims that there is the world, and then there are ideas about the world. This determines the connection between reality and what is actually in our mind. Our perceptions come from the world, and the reality is separate from our perceptions.
2) Primary qualities create certainty through properties of objects, such as: the shape and size. For example: if a t.v. is rectangular, then it would be difficult to argue that it is circular. Secondary qualities are properties produced through sensations, such as: color, taste, smell, …show more content…
Meaning that the theory bases the truth of a belief on how well it gets along with other beliefs in a belief system. For example: if you are in a fraternity, they have a set of beliefs to follow. If one belief claims that all brothers can be a part of another fraternity, while still an active member of the first fraternity, then this belief would have no truth, because the belief system is based around that one fraternity. It would be impossible for two conflicting beliefs to be true under the coherence theory of truth. Another example would be if two football teams were playing against each other and a player was to throw the game for betting purposes and their own belief to make more money, when the belief system is to win for your team no matter what. This would be another impossible way that two conflicting beliefs would be true under the coherence theory of
