1. Does Locke's Theory of Knowledge, especially with his theory of perception the distinction between primary and secondary qualities, meet the skeptical challenge. Give me all the reasons you can think of in support of your answer.
2. Descartes used his dream analogy to argue for skepticism. But we know very well when we are, and when we are not, in a dream state. Given this fact, how can Descartes' dream argument work? Write a defense of Descartes' dream argument. (Find possible or actual objections along the above line and try to refute the objections in your defense.)

Defend Reid from challenges such as "how does our memory work if we do not have mental representations?"
