I love the opening of this essay he says I have long entertained a suspicion with regard to the decisions of philosophers upon all subjects and found myself in a greater inclination to dispute than assent their conclusions. They've confined too much their principles and make no account of that vast variety which nature has so much affected in her operations. Our own mind being narrow and contracted we cannot extend our conception to the variety and extent of nature but imagine that she is as much bounded in her operations as we are in our speculation. That about expresses like the core of what I believe as well as anything could. Yeah yeah it's well said. Just reading that first paragraph I was like oh this is why Tamler
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.
