ABSTRACT:
(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.
