Please pick one of the following prompts and write an essay (max 3000 words) based on the prompt:
1.
According to Kant, the philosophy of Hume interrupted his “dogmatic slumber.” In specific, the skeptical doubt posed by Hume on the necessary connection between cause and effect made Kant realize the need for a complete reform of metaphysics, and one of the main goals of the Prolegomena was to provide an answer to Hume’s challenge. In your essay, please (1) explain Hume’s skeptical doubt and his “solution” to the doubt, (2) explain how Kant’s transcendental philosophy solves Hume’s doubt, and how Kant’s solution is different from Hume’s original solution, (3) assess Kant’s solution (this can be based either on the texts that you have read in class or on the philosophical and scientific discussions you have encountered elsewhere).
2.
The mind-body problem, briefly stated, is the problem concerning the ontological status of mind and body and their interactions, and it is a central theme in the materials that we have read. In your essay, please (1) pick one “rationalist” philosopher (Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz) and explain how he establishes his view on the mind-body problem, (2) based on the materials that you read, explain how an “empiricist” philosopher (pick one from Locke and Hume) would respond to the arguments of the rationalist, and (3) explain the empiricist’s answer to the mind-body problem (if you have space, you can also assess the empiricist’s answer).
