I  demonstrate that this question is a puzzle because it exposes the limits of  what we can claim to know based on sensory experience. Lastly, I will explain  how the empiricist, John Locke, would evaluate and answer the puzzle.      Resources:  1.   Encyclopedia or similar comprehensive works:  Kemerling, Garth. “John Locke: The Origin of  Ideas.”  Philosophy Pages. Britannica  Internet.2001. Web. 1 Mar. 2009.  http://www.philosophypages.com/hy/4l.htm  This source is a quick introduction to Locke and  his philosophical perspective and introduces the main themes in his work, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding.  It will also help me understand the more complicated aspects of Locke’s  epistemology that I’ll be reading to write my essay.    Uzgalis, William. “John Locke: The Limits of Human  Understanding.” Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. 2007. Web. 1 Mar. 2009.   http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/locke/#LimHumUnd/  This source presents a much more detailed analysis  of Locke’s epistemology from his work, An  Essay Concerning Human Understanding.       2.   Secondary sources:  E.J. Lowe. Routledge Philosophy Guide Book on  Locke: On Human Understanding. New  York, NY : Routledge, 1995. NetLibrary. 2002. 1 Mar. 2009  http://www.netlibrary.com.ezproxy1.apus.edu/urlapi.asp?action=summary&v=1&bookid=73470  This source provides me with a comprehensive  discussion of John Locke, the person, and the arguments he puts forth in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding.  It will also help me understand the book as it relates to historical events  and ideas. Additionally, it identifies arguments from the work’s supporters  and critics.       3.   Primary sources:  Locke, John.   An Essay Concerning Human  Understanding. Kitchener, Ont.: Batoche, 2001. Ebrary. 2005. 4 Oct. 2010.  http://site.ebrary.com.ezproxy1.apus.edu/lib/apus/Doc?id=2001993  This is Locke’s own writing which allows me to  read how Lock perceived the problem of knowledge, experience and sensation in  his own words.      4.   Journal article database:  EBSCO’s Academic Search Elite  This is a searchable database of scholarly  articles from many academic disciplines, including philosophy. I can use it  to find contemporary scholarly articles pertaining to epistemology, perception,  and Locke.  It also contains the full  text of many of the articles.
