David Hume, Treatise of Human Nature | Conflicts Between Reason and Passion | Core Concepts 

Awesomeness. So much to rewind and review in this lecture on Hume's ideas. Great lecture, Dr. Sadler. Thanking you.

Excellent video. Thank you for your work. I have been slowly drudging my way through the Treatise. I skipped a few sections of Volume II to read the section you are talking about. I am curious though as to what copy of the Treatise it is that you are reading from. I have been reading from the Penguin Classics version which I believe is a just a reprinting of Hume's work. I am curious as to if you recommend a certain copy or edited edition of the Treatise. Further, I am curious as to what you think about the following from your understanding of Hume. I am curious what Hume would say as to when it is that reason begins to operate once one experiences a passion. Since Hume believes that reason is involved in the judgement of ideas, and the passions themselves are this original or modification of existence that exhibits no representative quality of the causes of such passion, is it possible for Hume to say that reason and the passions operate simultaneously? When I get my first instance of anger, is it possible for Hume to say that reason is simultaneously drawing relations in its ideas alongside the anger and impressions that furnish one's imagination with the ideas to draw connections as to what causes that anger? This simultaneity does not mean that reason and passion are the same thing, but rather the occurrence of both happens at the same time.

haha, the car guy's probably dead. Oh well, shucks.

Thank you for this lecture. Reading Treatise of Human Nature for philosophy this semester. This is a great summary

Hi Dr Gregory! Thank you for nice lectures, I wanna ask you something about Hume's nature of passion which is lack of representative quality and reference to any objects. I think about emotions such as fear, happy but seems like it has to be accompanied by some sort of sensory data prior to the emotions (I assume that emotion itself cant arise from nowhere). Can you make it clear about this part?

Yet another exceptional video, Dr. Sadler. I was wondering, are you familiar with the works of Deleuze and Foucault?

Thanks for this class! I'm French and the title had been translated (in my research results), so I was a bit surprised when I heard you speak English, but it was very clear, thanks again :)

Thank you for the class. One of the few classes where I didn't doze off.

I am driven by reason, but unfortunately motivated by passion, which doesn’t always work in my favor.

I have read Hume's Enquiry on Human Understanding and am now reading through Book II from the Treatise of Human Nature which is more much complex. I really enjoy these videos as a supplement to my own learning, particularly the focus on particular concepts and arguments.

I consider myself an empiricist, so I love Hume.
