Hume

HUUUME. Ok. One. I REALLY hope I didn't miss any heresies. If I did. I may cry legitimate tears of despair. For me, I'm seeing metaphysics unfold before my eyes. Kant's vision is coming true for me. I see each of these philosophers coming after each other and building upon what the last wrote. Hume filled in so many holes left by past readings. His conclusion that Christianity is built on faith, which is a miracle. I've never quite thought of faith as miracle. But it is. The fact that we live life based on faith...amazing.

    An interesting observation. I really didn't pick up on this, but now that I look for it, I can totally see it.

    Just like Henry, I wasn't able to pick up on the fact that Hume concluded that Christianity was miraculously built upon faith.

    It seems that he offers more questions than answers, though!
