Hobbs, Locke & Divisibilty.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Through prolific writings on subjects including optics, philosophy and social theory, the "Hobbsean system" emerges as a coherent and comprehensive world view grounded in the distinct understanding of "philosophy as physics." The world according to Hobbes is a world in which all spheres of activity are governed and explained through mechanical principles, and where the primary task of philosophy is to understand the chain of cause and effect, through which all phenomena emerge (Foutz ppg).Locke on the other hand, believes each human starts with a mental blank slate, and then adds to it through their knowledge and experience. Our question of discussion is how these two relate to "divisibility." Bibliography lists 4 sources.
