Epistemology 3: Empiricism vs Innatism

from Coffee and Philosophy Hosted by Al Vince

In today's episode, I'll be covering the alternate empiricist account to innatism, a few criticisms of the innatist theory, and leibniz's take on locke's attack on innatism. Also, I read a section of a dr. seuss poem to help visualise simple and complex ideas, and talk about how rad miley cyrus's new song is whilst describing impressions and ideas. Two philosophers actually show some appreciation for each other's works, too. TIME STAMPS: Intro: 0:00 - 4:57 Locke on Innatism: 4:57 - 12:34 Leibniz reply to Locke: 12:34 - 17:40 Tabula Rasa: 17:40 - 18:33 Sensation and Reflection/Impressions and Ideas: 18:33 - 23:30 Simple and Complex Ideas: 23:30 - 27:25 Conclusion: 27:25 - 29:51
