The Design of which Is plainly to demonstrate the Reality and Perfection of Humane Knowledge, the Incorporeal Nature of the Soul, and the Immediate Providence of a DEITY: In Opposition to Sceptics and Atheists. Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous. What is Philonous' response to the charge that we actually don't know a thing's real nature via the senses, since what a microscope shows us about an object is different than what our unaided senses show us? We do not see the same object that we feel, neither is the same object perceived by the microscope which was by the naked eye.THE PERCEPTUAL RELATIVITY BERKELEY, GEORGE. What does the bent appearance of an oar partially submerged in water actually tell us? You perceive things how they immediately are, the thing you see is not the same thing as the thing you touch.
However, God cannot feel sensations, although he is all knowing about what they are. What is Philonous' response to Hylas' skeptical stance? Their existence exists in being perceived Why can't we have an idea of God? Because we cannot perceive him If we have no idea of God, how do we think about Him? Because our soul furnishes us with an idea, image, or likeness which may be extremely inadequate What is God's relationship to the sensible world, according to Philonous? God is the sole and immediate author of all effects. You can only distinguish between your own ideas. Why does Hylas think the real natures of things are unknowable to us? Because all we know are the certain ideas or appearances in our own mind. For someone to defeat skepticism, they would have to believe that there only is the mind.
Painting puts in your mind the actual person At the end of the First Dialogue, who best meets the definition of 'sceptic' agreed upon at the beginning, and why? Hylas because he does not understand how anything "but an idea can be like an idea." He also is not entirely convinced that everything is in the mind. Secondary= colors, sounds, tastes primary=extension, figure, gravity, motion, rest What is allegedly meant by the term 'substratum'? extension, nothing distinct from How is the example of the picture of Julius Caesar meant to make room for material substance? Is supposed to show that anything perceived by sense is immediately perceived but it does not. How does Hylas think primary and secondary qualities differ Secondary qualities do not exist in bodies, and primary qualities do.
What does Hylas mean by 'corporeal substance'? bodily substance What, according to Philonous, do the images presented by a microscope show us? That color is not in external bodies, but only in the different lights, it's just different way of viewing something.
