Locke, Berkeley, & Empiricism: Crash Course Philosophy #6

Hank explains John Locke’s primary and secondary qualities and why George Berkeley doesn’t think that distinction works -- leaving us with literally nothing but our minds, ideas, and perceptions. -- Images and video via VideoBlocks or Wikimedia Commons, licensed under Creative Commons by 4.0: -- Produced in collaboration with PBS Digital Studios: Crash Course Philosophy is sponsored by Squarespace. -- Want to find Crash Course elsewhere on the internet?
