Second
Principle of Charity applied to Locke, p 123-24 of Pomerleau:Take only the
“a” of the formulation a., b., c. toward the bottom of page 123:
1)“The causal source of anything (like me) that is caused must have
all the powers of the effect (me, I am the effect here)
Take from top of p. 124 the clause:
2) “Since one of the powers one (i.e. me, I)…” and
3) “it seems (i.e. therefore) the source (cause) of his (my) being….must
itself be knowing. “
Find the following categories:
|
A= |
|
=Cause who must have the powers it caused in me (from #1) |
|
B= |
|
= Cause of me as one knowing myself to have the power of knowing (from #2) |
|
C= |
|
= Cause who must itself have the power of knowing (from #3) |
1. Read the whole passage for context and to locate the argument. Be sure to use the "because and therefore" test and look for them in the texts.
