Revision questions.

The point of these questions is to get you working out what they are really asking you to say: what is relevant? how can you link to the various ideas and thinkers we've looked at. They are all inter-related and you could write one long essay covering them all, but the exam has two short short essay questions and two long essay questions so it makes sense to try to write in 'sections' - if you see what I mean.


1. Outline the strengths and weaknesses of the view that all ideas are derived from sense experience.
2. Outline the strengths and weaknesses of the view that the mind contains innate ideas.
3. Is certainty confined to ‘introspection’ and the tautological (analytical)? 
4. Outline and discuss the view that experience is only intelligible through a conceptual scheme.
