Locke's "Of Identity And Diversity"

Abstract: 3 pages in length. Locke, who furthers the discourse of Descartes, supports the notion that the mind is wholly distinct from one's body. However, the empiricist manner by which he approaches this perspective is conversely different from Descartes rationalist viewpoint, upholding instead that knowledge is a combination of sensation and reflection rather than any intellectual, tangible quotient. Therefore, the flaw with Locke's position is its inability to be proven beyond the highly interpretive aspect of one's personal thoughts. No bibliography.
