I think he even responds to that later in the essay, let me see if I have it here. He says like, there's nothing I can really say to somebody who's not like, say, moved by the suffering of others. And you wonder, well, how is this not just contradicting what you say earlier? There's a way of reconciling the two, but it's tough.
David and Tamler gild and stain David Hume’s essay “The Sceptic†with their sentiments. If nothing is inherently valuable or despicable, desirable or hateful, then what do philosophers have to offer when it comes to happiness? If reason is powerless, does it all come down to our emotions and “humours� Or does the study of philosophy and liberal arts naturally lead to a fulfilling and virtuous life? Plus we look at a new non-traditional social psych paper on how we always imagine that things could be better, and tip our caps to the queen of handling Twitter pile-ons (and former VBW guest) – Candy Mom.
