A Progress of Sentiments: Reflections on Hume's Treatise
Annette Baier's target is to make feel of David Hume's Treatise as an entire. Hume's kinfolk motto, which appears to be like on his bookplate, used to be "True to the tip. " Baier argues that it isn't until eventually the tip of the Treatise that we get his complete tale approximately "truth and falsehood, cause and folly. " by way of the tip, we will be able to see the reason to which Hume has been real through the paintings.

Example text
There must be change in society, because there are so many evils and social injustices, there is an appalling travesty of worship and so on. But the change in society is of secondary importance; that will come about naturally, inevitably, when you as a human being in relationship with another, bring about this change in yourself. This morning we are going to consider three essential things: what is living? - the life that we lead every day; what is compassion, love? and the third, what is death?
How can thought not interfere? You see the problem? It is not `how to end thought'. When you have put the question very clearly, you will see it for yourself. Thought, which is the response of the past, interferes, divides as the outer and the inner and destroys unity. ' This is a totally wrong question. But if you enquired into the whole structure of thought, saw what its place is, where it is not necessary, then you would find out that mind will operate intelligently when thought does not function as also when thought must function.
If you practise a certain system daily, your mind invariably becomes dull. This is so simple and obvious. So systems, methods, practices, must completely disappear. See what is happening to a mind that is not afraid, that is not seeking pleasure or pursuing entertainment, a mind that has no dependence on authority, but is really enquiring; to a mind that does not depend on anything there is no fear and therefore it can enquire. Such a mind has already become extraordinarily sharp, alive, intense, earnest.
