Aminа sаys tо yоu, “I hаve been thinking that maybe I shоuld cut down on my drinking a little, but not sure if I need to or if I can right now even if I tried.” Which stage of change would Amina currently be in?
Diаlоgue Essаy (Answer аll the fоllоwing questions for BOTH parts) 35 pts. (You need to write this in dialogue -like you are writing script of a play where these philosophers are talking directly to each other (You can abbreviate the names to capital letters). Failure to follow this format will automatically knock 10 points off the 35 points for the essay -which means even if you explain everything brilliantly, you cannot gain more than 25 out of the 35 points). Be sure to answer these in depth, go into a lot of detail, and use your own examples to illustrate their views. These cannot be fully answered sufficiently in a few short paragraphs. Dialogue Part I. Descartes and Locke meet for a cup of coffee at a café. On their table (as part of the festive spring decorations) is a peach. The two of them strike up a conversation (with the peach as a springboard). Have each of them discuss the following BUT use your own words: a. Have them discuss how they perceive the peach in front of them. Then each should explain to the other how it is they can gain knowledge of that peach. (For example, you should have Locke explain using his Primary and Secondary Qualities and his "causal theory of perception". Have Descartes' talk about his "systematic doubt"). Make sure you explain their notions of substance (i.e. You should have Descartes illustrate with his wax example -but use the peach). As part of this discussion, have each respond to what the other says. Do not just have them talking past each other. They need to fully address what the other person has said. Part 2. Berkeley and Hume have been eavesdropping. Now they join in the conversation from I (above). Continuing in dialogue format: b. What would Berkeley say to Locke about the perception of the peach in front of them, (and what we can claim to know about it) Hint: Look at what B says about the cherries. c. What would Berkeley say about the existence of the peach if it were alone in a dark, windowless room and there was no God? -If there is a God, how does that change things and why? d. Have Berkeley criticize Locke's "Veil of Perception" Problem AND also have him explain how he fixes the problem with his esse est percipi view. (Be sure to explain what Locke's "Veil of Perception" Problem is as well as Berkeley’s own esse est percipi view). (You will want to focus on one of Berkeley's arguments for the inseparability of Primary and Secondary substances making sure you have given examples of whichever you pick -see lecture notes). d. Have David Hume explain his "Fork" method in how he dealt with the Principle of Universal Causation, and what he replaced it with. (You must have him explain what his “Fork” is in detail and with examples.) Then explain how dispelling the concept of Universal Causation (PUC) might affect any of the other three philosophers' views. Explain with your own examples. EXTRA Credit #1: For up to 8 extra points, how specifically would David Hume criticize Berkeley's views about Mind and Mental substance using his Fork? (i.e. Take what Hume did to the PUC and now apply it to Berkeley’s theories around Mind and Mental substance). How would this affect Berkeley's philosophy?
