David Hume Research Paper

Reading about David Hume was very interesting. Hume didn’t give up on his passion. Even though people didn’t necessarily believe in him, he knew his value and hoped that one day people understood how great he was. Yes, he was ahead of his time, but that what made him so unique as a person. His second attack on reason caught my attention the most. He mentioned that the ideas we possess are not based on reason but on feeling”. Most of the concepts that process in our brain have some sort of feeling and meaning behind it after a while. This is important because it makes us as humans who we are. It is perfectly okay to have to reason behind something you are passionate about but it is also important to have feeling, imagination and “custom”

I find this interesting because most people that are successful don’t lead down that path. I feel as though he was successful but he had enough strength and he kept true to himself and didn’t let him do what he was afraid of actually to happen. Hume was a very special person he was determined to go through the middle path between dogmatism and skepticism instead of the practical knowledge even though in my opinion he did sort of. Immanuel Kant was a very awakening philosopher. I had no idea that he was the one that created idealism. I learned about idealism one time before in High School but I have a very vivid memory of it. Kant was a very quiet man and very short. In a way I relate to him because I am also short, me being 5 feet tall exactly, and quiet kinda. Even though Kant was this way it didn’t stop him from being a very great inspiration to many

Even though his ethics were challenged for those who think of bad means that lead to good ends is something acceptable. The way I take this is by looking at life for the better even though you might have those bad days things will get better. It always amazes me when I learn about someone entering university at a young age. Schelling was a very intelligent man. His idea of never denying the differentiation of nature and the mind was very fascinating. At first, I was very confused but this theory. After reading more about this I began to understand it a bit more. This didn’t deny the idea he had for unifying it. Watching the Gustave Flaubert was very fun actually. Learning his story and his ideas amazed me. His view of the world was different and unlike others which made him unique. His understanding of tragedy was something that many people understand. The tragedy is something that is hard but is apart of life. We all go through it at one point in our lives and something we all have to understand even if we don’t have a personal connection to it. The other point that Flaubert that interested me was that he believes that what we read matters. I believe this in so many ways. Even though I don’t love reading it does help open our minds to new possibilities in life. As well as brighten our
