  This is the first philosopher I know of that died happily. That must speak for something.

  He criticises logic and reason, while using logic and reason.<br>And it is still beautiful.

  My favourite quote of Hume&apos;s: &quot;I&apos;m prepared to accept the idea of a great deity, I just don&apos;t understand why He requires our constant applause!&quot;

  He sounds like the ultimate pragmatists, aware of the futility of much of what he is doing, yet still doing it. He was probably a philosopher free from any illusions of grandeur, and I respect that.

  I feel like he was so ahead of his time. Like his moral is basically an evolution based one, he was almost atheist, understood the importance of feelings (again very evolutionnist ideas), his vision on the self is basically what meditation teaches us, and an accurate description imo. And he fucking understood some basic shit that it feels like no one did before.. Like on moral the Hum&apos;s guillotine is something so crucial that weirdly he was the first to understand.<br>The problem of induction is also an amazing idea.<br><br>Like I just love the skepticism in this guy, an actually much more brutal one than Descartes, he doesn&apos;t drop it midway to prove god&apos;s existence. Everything seems to make sense, no explanations coming from nowhere, big principles, just a description, that is very humble btw and self critic. Even though he didn&apos;t give much credit to reason, his argumentation is almost flawless.
