Human Nature

A obra mais importante do cético David Hume está disponível na internet, na íntegra. Imperdível. Já imprimi minha cópia.

"David Hume’s A Treatise of Human Nature (1739) is an extensive investigation of the origin, nature, aims, and limits of human knowledge and understanding. Hume divides the operations of understanding into two kinds: 1) comparisons of ideas, and 2) inferences concerning matters of fact. Hume claims that all knowledge is based upon these two kinds of reasoning and that the most important relation with which understanding is concerned is the relation of cause-and-effect."

"What we call mind is just a collection of mental perceptions. And finally, without mind, there can be no free will."

(Foi Hume que inspirou Immanuel Kant, que jamais concordou com sua teoria da inexistência de causa e efeito -- e conseguiu derrubar alguns de seus "dogmas", ao mesmo tempo fundando sua própria linha de pensamento com sua Crítica da Razão Pura, Critíca da Razão Prática e Crítica do Julgamento.)

A warning sign I missed the good part then I realized I started looking and the bubble burst I started looking for excuses Come on in I’ve gotta tell you what a state I’m in I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones I started looking for a warning sign When the truth is, I miss you Yeah the truth is, that I miss you, so A warning sign You came back to haunt me and I realized That you were an island and I passed you by And you were an island to discover Come on in I’ve gotta tell you what a state I’m in I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones That I started looking for a warning sign When the truth is, I miss you Yeah the truth is, that I miss you so And I’m tired I should not have let you go Ooooooooooooooooo So I crawl back into your open arms Yes I crawl back into your open arms And I crawl back into your open arms Yes I crawl back into your open arms
