the human senses. These perceptions are then categorized into impressions and ideas which are then used to make sense of the world. Descartes, however, believes in a singular existence of a thinking thing, that is separate from a physical body, of which its existence he remains unsure of. In this essay, I will be analyzing Hume’s and Descartes’ beliefs in different states of existence as a thinking thing and a bundle of fleeting impressions and how it relates to their view of ideas. I reason…

that most people can relate to their everyday life. Everyone encounters and has to deal with people that have too much pride or too little pride. Similarly, everyone is faced with the pressure of giving off a good first impression. Everyone is also faced with mistaken first impressions and having to deal with the consequences of them.

people. Their lives are dull and they don’t take risks. These are all the false cultural stereotypes that society has created for Christianity. For these stereotypes, about my culture are not only false, but can be very misleading; they can prevent people from walking with Christ. By following the Christian culture my identity has flourished, through fellowship, worship, and striving to be charitable. One of the first impressions I first got once I first walked into a church was the close bond…

My overall impression of Freakonomics pertaining to the subject matter is that the documentary segments focus in on real-life struggles that families from all different walks of life go through. It was interesting to find out names can have an affect how well a child performs in school and their future careers. The definition of causality seems unnecessary in everyday life.

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 root impressions. The second addition to his principle is that without impressions there would be no ideas. In this essay, I will define the Copy Principle in detail and…

you've ever had the wrong first impression of someone? And if you've ever had first impression of someone that was right? Yes, they tell us “to not judge the book by its cover”, but we humans are overly quick to judge people based on various reasons. Psychology says this is because we don't have the mental capacity to carefully evaluate each person we come across, for us judgement is simply a shortcut. Pride and Prejudice provides a case study of first impressions, exploring this universal theme…

Theaetetus is an example of Socratic dialogue, which shows Socrates and Theaetetus discussing the 3 definitions of knowledge; knowledge is perception, knowledge is true judgment, and, finally, knowledge is true judgment accompanied by an “account”.

convince us of things that are not true. Many people are not aware of illusions. Delusions are different from both illusions and hallucinations. An illusion is a non-true impression. Bad illusions can make people feel like they are losing their mind. An illusion is something that misleads or deceives you in a way that false impressions or ideas exaggerate to what does exist. Unknown and Unimagined illusions can appear at that present time or place. Illusions can be found unexpected to a lot of…
