'[T]here is nothing to be learned from a Professor, which is not to be met with in Books...."

One person may even perceive deformity, where another is sensible of beauty; and every individual ought to acquiesce in his own sentiment, without pretending to regulate those of others

Hey, #atheists and other #secular types! Take the next step and question the provincial religious #morality you’re still rationalizing!

"World renowned Princeton #Bible #Scholar and believing #Christian, Dr. Dale C Allison, tears apart the "no resurrection" hypothesis that I've put forth in several videos. This is the one Dr Andrew Loke calls "fringe". How will it withstand the scrutiny?"

David Hume on curiosity, or the love of truth:
'The first and most considerable circumstance requisite to render truth agreeable, is the genius and capacity, which is employ'd in its invention and discovery.'
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, 2 vols (London, UK: JM Dent & Sons, 1949), ii, p.157.
#quotes #davidhume #education #truth #learning #philosophy
“When we entertain any suspicion that a philosophical term is employed without any meaning or idea (as is but too frequent), we need but enquire, from what impression is that supposed idea derived? And if it is impossible to assign any, this will serve to confirm our suspicion. By bringing ideas into so clear a light we may reasonably hope to remove all dispute ... concerning their nature and reality.” ~ David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

@russokrauss David Hume, that amiable and reasonable man, understood quite clearly that the passions (“the heart”/emotions) lead the parade and that reason follows along behind, providing justification, as it were: “Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.” (A Treatise of Human Nature)

2011. Mayo. Por entonces celebrábamos en #FilosofiPods el tricentésimo aniversario de #DavidHume junto al investigador y docente José Luis Tasset. Del #escepticismo moderado al apasionamiento equilibrado, pasando por la crítica al principio de causalidad:

'Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous.' - David Hume

My #philosophy test results (☺️) tell me that I am close to #DavidHume and #Diogenes, although generally balanced. I think my #DavidHume affinity stems from skepticism and my #Diogenes affinity stems from #Sinop (Black Sea region, Türkiye). 😅
PS: #Plato is really boring.
