Rorty I 159
Epistemology: Problem, how can we know whether our internal representations have accuracy.
Locke: confusion of a mechanical theory of the operations of our mind with a "foundation of our knowledge claims."
Rorty I 160
SellarsVsLocke: same error as the naturalistic fallacy: the attempt to completely dissolve epistemic facts in non-epistemic facts. How could he be of the opinion, a causal theory about how an opinion is acquired, is an indicator of entitlement, with which you have that opinion?
Rorty: because he did not think of knowledge simply as a justified true opinion, because he did not think of our knowledge as a relation between a person and a proposition.
>Naturalistic fallacy.

Euchner I 17
Knowledge/Locke: basis: sensations (sensory impressions) - they must be processed by reason and reasoning ability to conclusions - they help to recognize the existence of God.
>Sensory impression.
I 30
Knowledge/Locke: not logical deduction but observation of mental processes - "inner sense".
I 31
Both perception and reflection are passive.
>Perception/Locke, >Reflection.

Arndt II 193
Definition knowledge/Locke: Perception of the relation or conflict of ideas - real knowledge: determinism of ideas (necessary but not sufficient condition.).
Def Real Truth/Locke: not only verbal.
>Truth/Locke.
II 195
Demonstrative knowledge: through mediation of other ideas.
Sensitive knowledge: existence of things that are present to the senses-
Intuitive knowledge: the certainty that the perceived idea is such a one as the mind perceives it. - intuitive and demonstrative knowledge form a complete disjunction of possible safe knowledge. VsDescartes: not recognizing predetermined conceptual content. - Instead empirically simple given ideas in mind.
>Idea/Locke, >Recognition.
