The most lively thought is still inferior to the dullest sense. (pg. 10)
This seems to be a premise that Hume takes to show many of his other ideas. Because of this, he concludes that experience is critically important to the discovery of cause and effect, which is critically important to discover everything that deals with matter of fact. What is the consequence, though, of saying that nothing in the realm of matter of fact can be discovered unless through knowledge, but writing a work in which each person cannot experience, but only use reason to understand? What also does this do to the style of learning that we in PLS or we in universities use to learn?
