Relationalism

1. In the video, Paul Churchland suggests that rationalism is motivated by a misguided quest for absolute certainty. Why does he says this? Are rationalists more likely to seek deductive or inductive arguments? Explain. What about empiricists? Again, explain. 2. According to John Locke, all of our ideas are either simple ideas that come directly from sense impressions or complex ideas that are composed of those simple ideas. Explain the distinction between simple and complex ideas using an example. According to Hume, is the idea of causation simple or complex?  3. Why is it a problem for empiricists to explain how our sense impressions correspond to mind-independent objects? 4. Explain Kant’s view of causation and contrast it with Hume’s view. Specifically, explain why Kant thinks that the concept of causation is “a priori” and what that means.
