Question
In one work, a threefold distinction contrasts a category described by this adjective with one category that includes hearing a noise or seeing the sun and another category that includes sirens and hippogriffs. One work argues against this property by claiming that children have souls and yet cannot assent to the proposition “Whatsoever is, is.” Leibniz defended this property with the analogy of a block of marble with veins that mark out the shape of Hercules that still needs to be chiseled. Descartes contrasted ideas with this property with “factitious” and “adventitious” ideas. The claim that “neither principles nor ideas” possess this property titles the first book of An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. For 10 points, Locke’s tabula rasa picture of the mind denies the existence of ideas with what property? ■END■
