McGinn considers the particular case of sensible qualities ideas of color, shape, taste, and so on. He argues that these, which he once regarded as the strongest case for the empiricist position, are in fact not well explained by the empiricist account that they derive from interactions with external objects. Rather, he contends, ideas of sensible qualities offer the strongest case for the nativist position that a large range of our knowledge is inborn, not acquired through the senses. Yet, McGinn cautions, how this can be is deeply problematic; we have no good theories about how innate knowledge is possible. Innate knowledge is a mystery, though a fact. McGinn describes the traditional debate between empiricism and nativism; offers an array of arguments against empiricism; constructs an argument in favor of nativism; and considers the philosophical consequences of adopting the nativist position, discussing perception, the mind body problem, the unconscious, metaphysics, and epistemology"--Publisher's website. 606 $aInstinct (Philosophy) 606 $aKnowledge, Theory of 606 $aInternalism (Theory of knowledge) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInstinct (Philosophy) 615 0$aKnowledge, Theory of. 615 0$aInternalism (Theory of knowledge) 676 $a121/.3 700 $aMcGinn$b Colin$f1950-$0881057 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466098803321 996 $aInborn knowledge$92453930 997 $aUNINA
