Hello friends. What a wonderful evening we find ourselves sitting in. Here's what I think, or at least the idea that I have come across after conversing about the writing style of Hume with my peers. My only issue with Hume and his style is that I simply don't understand why things have to be so overdone.
Now you may dislike me for saying that, but just hear me out for a simple moment. Veterans (if you're reading this), think back to the time that we read the Summa Theologia by Thomas Aquinas and consider the real, down-to-earth, fact-based and sensible take on finding out the truth of important matters concerning religion. Now let us take a quick look at Hume. Instead of directly discussing matters at hand, he uses 4 characters ranging from all different viewpoints to have one gigantic argument with each other. The language used is very flowery and at times (for a simpleton such as I) hard to follow. All in all, what this work boils down to is a lot like jazz to a normal pop listener. It's good, and there is obvious knowledge and wisdom and excellence within, but as for what is actually happening in the book, I won't be able to very well explain it to someone else.
Now as for my opinion, the only person that it probably really means anything to is me, myself, and I.
At this very moment, I am doing my best to process what is going on here. And hopefully, maybe I will. Until then, enjoy a wonderful glass of *real* chocolate milk, and chilax.
See you all tomorrow friends!
