In Hume, there is a quote that I felt that I could write about. "Animals, undoubtedly feel, think, love, hate, will, and even reason, though in a more imperfect manner than man. Are their souls also immaterial and immortal?" (Hume 92).
I would simply like to answer this question. I believe that animals, like humans, are both immaterial and immoral because they too have memories and souls that I truly want to say go to Heaven when they die. On page 91, Hume says that "As the same material substance may successively compose the bodies of all animals, the same spiritual substance may compose their minds." Hume believes, as I do, that all animals are made up of the same spiritual and physical composure. Their minds work very similar to ours in. some ways. They still feel pain and hunger and lust and a lot of the same things that we feel as human beings and I believe that because of that, their souls are immortal like ours.
Animals want and need just like humans do. Hume states: "The powers of man are no more superior to their wants, considered merely in this life, than those of foxes and hares are [...]" (93).
I honestly believe that animals can feel love and hate and they have the same souls as people do. Even though it is not as advanced and far along as humans' are, it is still very much an immaterial and immortal part of existence.
