Locke's representative realism
Indiscernability of identicals- X and Y are only the same object if they have the same qualities
Primary qualities are OBJECTIVE
Secondary qualities are SUBJECTIVE
If we disagree about a primary quality we can resolve it by some shared standard but secondary qualities are not subject to such checking. We simply have to agree to disagree.
Illustrate- agree about the weight of the steak but not about its taste!
