David Hume

You should hang yourself

Absolutely, Hume is a brilliant writer and you will struggle with Kant if you didn't read him. But even if not too read Kant you should still read Hume, he profoundly affected my life

I will eventually, but not now. I'm still young and healthy and beautiful.

>>8375028
He's only praised because the British have no relevant philosophers so they rally behind that guy

He looks like a fucking toad

>>8375047
Can you explain how he profoundly affected your life? In what way did he affect you?

Anyone read his history of England? I hear it was the standard work on the subject until the 20th century.

He is really easy to read, and writes like a top-notch bloke. Would love to spend a night binge drinking and eating with his fatass

BUNDLE OF PERCEPTIONS O_O woooahhh~~

>>8375028
There are works which are translated into a more updated English. Try an enquiry concerning human understanding

He's dry and boring to read, I don't enjoy him very much. You can read his dialogue on natural religion though, that's fun.

Funny you should call him a toad Pierre

Nice post of I'm a fucking retard who knows nothing about philosophy and the evolution of thought and I'm only here to shitpost for quick snippets of attention

>LE MEMED YOU HARD BRO XD
Jump off a really tall building.

>>8375259
Yeah and you sound like a wee faggot who dresses like a little fairy

No fan of Hume particularly but he's piss easy to read. If you're really having trouble maybe reading isn't for you.

>>8375028
>outdated English

but heh? he's a fantastic writer, that's like the best part of reading Hume. second best part is that he was smart af and super well read.

overall I think he's a blockhead, though.

>>8375224
Yep.

Can we unplug England from the Internet because of Brexit?

>>8375344
Neither of us used the word lad or used English lad-slang

You BENDER

>What does /lit/ think of David Hume?
I heard he could outconsume Schoppenhauer and Hegel.

>>8375028
His English isn't that old fashioned. There's just a lot of 'tises. He's harder to read compared to Locke, I think, only because of his writing style.

>>8375232
Pretty sure plenty of Americans are obsessed with Locke.

>>8375444
Fucking kys lmao.

>>8375028
Hume is only hard to read if your attention span is too short to handle a frickin periodic sentence.
