Document Summary

Idealist: the world is entirely composed of ideas and its just in our heads. Mystic: he has been taught by a divinity, these are not things we think of ourselves. Pg. 58 3, anything that does not come from our mind ideas, it doesn"t exists. In this way either it is or it isn"t it cannot be both. The materialist, there is confusion about what he means ph. 57/2- it so not possible for it not to be so it must be! 1: it is necessary for it to be. 2: it is not and it is necessary for it not to be. 3: it is not but it is possible for it to be. 4: it is , but it is possible for it not to be. So let"s rule it out, assume he knew what he was doing so figure it out.
