Empiricism Part 2: Locke, Hume, and Voltaire

We've learned about the early figures in the empiricist movement, so let's continue along the timeline to examine John Locke, David Hume, and Voltaire, among other key figures in the late 17th century. Empiricism helped set the tone for contemporary philosophy, so let's see what these philosophers had to say!

You could do an hours-long bit on Voltaire and it wouldn't get old. He had an impressive life and career.

Professor Dave, would it be possible for you to create a course on Discrete Mathematics?

I vote for more on Locke!

What’s your thoughts on David Hume’s argument against moral objectivism?

[@numericalcode]

I like to think of Hume as originating the idea of mind as a machine learning from training data.
