Philosophy- Locke Hume and Kafka Essay

1. Explain how Locke and Hume view psyche-to-somebody identity, or the Self. How do you see Kafkas Metamorphosis as exemplifying these philosophical themes? You may choose Locke or Hume or both, or argue why you see neither of their theories as showing up in Kafkas work. Lockes theory of somebodyal identity does not rely on substance to explain someoneal identity.Lockes theory is person one at clipping two is the corresponding person as person two at time one if and scarce if person one and person two are both persons and person one can remember at time two (his doing) what person two did or felt or what have you at time one. Humes theory of the self-importance-held that the self is nothing but a mass of experiences or perceptions linked by the relations of causation and resemblance or, more accurately, that the empirically warranted idea of the self is just the idea of such a bundle.In Metamorphosis Kafka takes on Lockes view of the self. Kafka illustrates that Gregor Samsa is the same person as he was when he was human even though he has changed into a bug. Kafka does this by showing that Gregor still has the same thoughts, memories, and tries to continue the same routine even though he has become a bug. Gregor stills tries to awaken up and catch the train for work, he still knows how his sister, parents, and boss allow for act, and he still has the same feelings and emotions towards his life and the people who are in it. All of these explain go along with Lockes view of the self verses Humes theory.
