"I dine, I play a game of backgammon, I converse, and am merry with my friends; and when after three or four hours' amusement, I would return to these speculations, they appear so cold, and strain'd, and ridiculous, that I cannot find in my heart to enter into them any farther."

David Hume on #PhilosopherProblems ?

Today's prompt apparently took me back to college philosophy class ??

batsy @JennyM Haha! I was drawing a blank all day for this prompt until I was like, Wait what was that philosophy book with the words "human nature" in the title?!? ? 5y
Cathythoughts Nice one 👍🏻❤️back to philosophy class ..... 🤔ponder ponder 5y
batsy @Cathythoughts Much pondering indeed 😁 5y
merelybookish Nice one! And better than Hobbes and his "nasty, brutish, and short" which is all I remember from Philosophy 101. ? 5y
Billypar I love this quote: it's funny to imagine that Hume may have considered abandoning a now classic text after a few rounds of backgammon and merry making with friends 🤔🍾😃 5y
batsy @merelybookish Ha! I've never read Leviathan and I think I never will 😅 5y
batsy @Billypar Relatable, I have to say 😁 It's hard not to warm to a philosopher who understands that the pleasures of backgammon with friends might exert a greater hold than the labours of reason and thought 😆 5y

Mehso-so

After a short introductory chapter on Hume's life, the book consists of transcripts of 4 lectures Ayer gave on Hume and it shows. It is very much Ayer's assessment of Hume and where he agrees and disagrees philosophically with him rather than an introduction to Hume.

Stop 8 on today‘s home-library tour!

Very few people know I have and have read these. I encourage folks to read anything and everything they can and want, but the sentiment is rarely reciprocated. Our #LitsyFamily bucks that trend. 🤗

Do you own or have you read any of these books?!

This is one of my #apologetics shelves. I‘m a nerd. 🙈🤓

#MrBooksBooks

Velvetfur I haven't read any of these but I have read Jung before. Do not apologise for your nerdyness! We're all nerds, that's why we're here on this site, let's be nerds together! And anyway, nerds are cool, everyone knows that 😁😎👍 6y
catsuit_mango Flatland has been in my Tbr list for some time... I need to get on with it at one point 6y

Pretty sure my browser is staking me...it knows what I‘m thinking and what I look up at the library. It‘s a little creepy. Maybe it has some ideas on this bloody paper and that is getting dangerously close to pushing into its 3rd year now. #DavidHume #Hume #Philosophy #millionsofwords
