Copy Principle: Prompt One David Hume, in the book, “An Enquiry of Human Understanding,” denies the thought that ideas are innate or come from within us. Instead, he claims that all ideas, when they are first experienced are derived or duplicated from simple impressions or world experiences. This is known as Hume’s Copy Principle. To prove his hypothesis, Hume divides his argument into two sections. One being that complex ideas can be broken down into simple ideas and followed back to their…

As these accounts show women do not always prioritise physical appearance as the most significant body issue during midlife. This is illustrated by Zahira whose main concern is to remain active and physically capable, in order to avoid dependency on her family. Further, in contrast to white British/English women other participants did not refer to their other bodies as a ‘shell’ masking an inner more youthful identity. This suggests those theoretical approaches to midlife that emphasise consumer…

Skepticism is nearly the opposite and can be described as questioning or doubting unempirical knowledge, beliefs, or opinions stated as facts and refrains from claims of truth or knowledge. Skepticism, however, does not state that truth or knowledge is impossible. The difference between these two philosophical ideas can be seen in examples of…
