Locker and Materialism

Hello, everyone. How are you doing? I hope you succeed in your exams. Today, I rented a locker at Husky Union Building (HUB). Let me tell you about the HUB in the beginning. According to the website (http://depts.washington.edu/sauf/hub/), “HUB brings together the campus community at the University of Washington. It is a place to gather with friends, watch a movie, study, get involved with a student organization, learn a new skill, grab something to eat, or just relax. The HUB offers Wifi access throughout the building in the meeting rooms and common areas.” As you can see now, we usually have lunch there and study on second floor thanks to the access to the Internet. The HUB Lockers are located on the Basement level of the HUB next to the HUB Games Area. I rented one smaller locker for $10 for entire summer quarter, b-term. There is larger one close to smaller one. If you want to rent a locker, you can go to the HUB information desk first. And you can ask the staff there to rent smaller or lager locker. However, you have to buy a key for your locker at the book store before using it. Renting a locker will be helpful to you.

Next, I'm going to tell you materialism. Through studying Hobbes, I noticed there is the other key term for me to understand. It is materialism. In philosophy, it is the view that the world is entirely composed of matter. Philosophers now tend to prefer the term physicalism. Materialism in this philosophical sense emerges in the modern period in Hobbes's Leviathan.
