For Locke, isn't the squirrel in your example really a complex idea (a combination of simple ideas) and not the substance? Each simple idea comes from a substance but that complex idea of a squirrel would come from a combination of the substances that are the origins of the simple ideas. Someone please explain if I am wrong thanks
Well, your use of terms is a little off. Simple ideas come not from substance (which Locke admits we have no experience of), but from sense impressions.

@@PhiloofAlexandria Thank you for the confession ("unrelated websites"). Actually it was a book by Lenin and if you read it you will understand that it is directly related to this topic. But I understand your position, it's imposible to keep your place in the academy and be open to the works of people who founded the USSR and expropiated the rich who finances your university.
@@memetkara2117 You're a clown who knows nothing about how universities function. There's plenty of scholars who read and teach Lenin and the other degenerates you idolize.
Thank you for this lecture. Truly enlightening
I love your videos. I use them to compliment my philosophy classes.
In French, complement and compliment are two very different things. Isn't it the same in English?
@@rarewordIt is, indeed, the same thing in english! It was just a typo from the oroginal writer’s part.
Wow, the best explanation of Berkeley's Idealism I have seen on the internet. Thank you.
ALWAYS ENLIGHTENING, THANK YOU

I don’t think I saw that comment-maybe I just missed it. I’ll look for it.

Was the statue a cat.....or a baboon?
That statue is actually a monkey from the German city of Heidelberg.
