Message for victrizzo mcG-unit

I've deleted your panic-fuelled post as an act of mercy. Here is the question: 
Explain how the empiricism of Locke & Hume leads to problems concerning our knowledge of the external world and the use of language as a means of communication.

You should look at the post below called 'The Problems with Empiricism Essay is Finally Set. It points you to the resources that are on my web site. There's a link to it in the message and at the top of this page. It might be a bit slow but it works and is beautiful. Use the text book, especially pages 4 - 12, the extracts from Locke and Hume, and the quotations that are specific to this essay that I put on one handy sheet. All these things (except the text book) are at mrbrodie's philosophy home. There are also several posts on this site that may help you. But make sure you get the ideas into your own head and into the world in your own words.
