Document Summary
Third: puzzles or problems with berkeley"s theory of bodies. How do berkeley"s idea atoms make up bodies. Give a) the best reason you can find in favour of this claim and b) the best reason to doubt it. Provide an argument in favour of one view or the other. Eg: here"s the best reason for berkeley"s success he best reason is still hopelessly flawed because etc. You could also supplement here"s the best reason you can find in the text and here"s an argument that we didn"t see in the texts that shows berkeley"s best reason is good/bad etc. Like locke, b interested in a sort of atomism. Thinkgs that when we work with idea atoms, get a better view than lockes. Berkeley thinks that his account is in closest accordance with common sense! Assume that your reader is lazy, stupid, and mean.
