Q1

How does Locke refute innate ideas in Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Book I?

A1

Locke argues the mind is a tabula rasa. No principles are universally assented to; children and idiots lack them, proving knowledge comes from experience, not innateness.
Q2

What is Leibniz’s primary counter-argument to Locke in New Essays on Human Understanding?

A2

Leibniz argues all ideas are potential but require sensory experience for actualization. He distinguishes necessary truths of reason from contingent truths of fact.
Q3

Explain Leibniz’s doctrine of monads.

A3

Monads are simple, immaterial, windowless, perceiving substances. Each reflects the entire universe from its own perspective, operating through pre-established harmony without causal interaction.
Q4

According to John Storey, what is the culture and civilization tradition?

A4

It is a critical tradition, from Arnold to Leavis, that opposes popular culture, viewing it as a threat to social order and moral authority, privileging elite culture.
Q5

What is Matthew Arnold’s definition of culture in Culture and Anarchy?

A5

Culture is the pursuit of total perfection through knowing the best that has been thought and said. It seeks harmonious expansion of all human faculties.
Q6

How does Arnold use metaphors like “sweetness and light”?

A6

“Sweetness” represents beauty and moral rightness, while “light” represents intelligence and reason. Together, they signify true culture against Philistine materialism and anarchy.
Q7

How does Eliot connect culture to religion in his writings?

A7

For Eliot, culture is the incarnation of a religion. The highest culture emerges from a unified religious tradition; no true culture exists without a living faith.
Q8

State Raymond Williams’ core argument in Culture is Ordinary.

A8

Culture is not elite; it is ordinary, everyday. It includes both traditional meanings (art) and new meanings (democratic, working-class experience). Culture is a whole way of life.
Q9

How does Williams use the concept of “structure of feeling”?

A9

It refers to shared, emergent, informal experiences of a generation—not yet articulated into fixed ideologies—capturing the lived quality of a particular time and place.
Q10

Explain the limits of knowledge according to John Locke’s epistemology.

A10

Locke limits knowledge to ideas derived from sensation and reflection. We cannot have intuitive or demonstrative knowledge of real essences, only nominal essences and sensitive knowledge.
