Shades of blue

gives an example of how a blind man does not know color and how a mild mannered man cannot understand the motive of revenge. Hume also creates an exception to his belief that all simple ideas come from impressions. He gives the example of a shade of blue. If a person has seen all the shades of blue except one when you present them a spectrum of blue with that one shade missing, they can easily use their imagination to form an idea for that shade. Although they get the idea of the shade, it is not formed through an impression. I actually agree with Hume in that you can form an idea for the blue shade without ever experiencing it. Even though Hume terminates this idea of the blue shade and calls it insignificant I think it is very important. It basically disproves his whole notion of not being able to derive ideas without impressions. If it is possible to get an idea for the shade of blue without ever originating it from an impression can’t we just as easily form other ideas without any impressions. I think a single example is enough to refute an assertion. The reason I think Hume is wrong is because if a person can come up with missing shade of blue they will obviously be able to do it for any other color. Because a mind can come up with the shades of different colors, I see no reason that we should limit this only to vision. We can just as easily have an idea of missing taste, sound and smell. Say a person is trying out coffee with different amounts of sugar in it and He is…

Summary of the procedure was that there were 4 mass measurements taken during the lab. And that the hotplate was used to heat both the crucible and the sample. Some sources of error could be that the sample and /or crucible where not on the hotplate long enough, an error in the measurement of mass and an error in the calculations also that the crucible with sample was removed from the hotplate before the sample turn all white. A major result is that after the water is removed from the sample it…

Hume’s Missing Shade of Blue In the second section of his Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding entitled “Of of the origin of ideas”, David Hume introduces what has come to be a renowned problem in the field of philosophy: that of the “missing shade of blue.” He writes: “Suppose, therefore, a person to have enjoyed his sight for thirty years, and to have become perfectly acquainted with colours of all kinds except one particular shade of blue, for instance, which it never has been his…

determine the unknown and if the solution The benedict solution is sensitive to the sugar and is able to detect and produce a shade of yellow, green or red (Stanley Benedict,1909) The colour represents that there is a level of reduced sugar found in the substance. However, benedict solution is not always a guarantee, as there can be possibility of false-positive reactions. (Daniel Morell-Garciaa, Josep Miquel Bauçaa, Antonia Barcelób, Gerardo Perez-Estebanc, Magdalena Vilad, 2014). There are…

In the article, “No one could see the color blue until modern times,” Loria writes how blue was not used to describe objects until more modern times. The author traced the use of each color in a language and culture and saw a pattern of the emergence of the use of each color. Black and white were the first colors to appear, and blue was the last to appear. The sky and ocean were not described as blue and used other colors and words to describe the color. I believe just because we did not used…

Fish Tank, directed by Andrea Arnold, is a film that relies heavily on style. One such element of style that is particularly important to this film is its color. In the majority of the film warm and bright colors compose many scenes. Orange and yellow dominate in scenes set on the first floor of Mia’s home and at night. Light blues fill in the sky, doorways, and many other components of the set. Mia and Conor’s clothing, though not exuberant, always feature components made up of light colors…
