Desc:Berkeley and Hume are often regarded as having taken Locke's program to its ultimate limits: the units of mental activities are ideas, and ideas are fully determinate -- they have size, a color, and other qualities. Both hold that the world that we experience is a world of only ideas, though Hume does not commit himself to Berkeley's idealism. Reid is understood as a critic of this "way of ideas". He rejects ideas as mere theoretical notions for which there is no evidence, and which provide no satisfactory explanations of mental processes. By reading Berkeley, Hume, and Reid on topics such as perception, memory, and imagination, alongside current secondary literature on these figures or on these topics, we will learn whether and to what degree this common understanding is accurate.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
