Finally finished reviewing 4 units of philosophy of love and sex and got a 97% on the quiz! (poorly lit pics of my notes on Louisa Lee Moon & consent) Hours of studying were definitely worth it :)

Had an awkward but productive meeting with my group about our essay due on friday, my section will be about intersectional feminism, so i’m actually kinda excited about doing some research for that.

Before bed I’m going to break down all of my assignments and make a list for what I can get done tomorrow!

Have a lovely night ♡

My Intro to Philosophy Professor's Notes - David Hume (Part2)

For Hume, we do not sense the world carefully enough and this allows for to generalize with our ideas of identity and difference. All this means is that when we sense things that generally are similar in characteristics like color, shape, sound, etc. we combine these as ideas in our mind and create the idea of identity. One the other hand, when we sense things that seem not to have general similarities in characteristics like color, shape, sound etc. we separate these as ideas in our mind and create the idea of difference. It all comes down to the fact that we do not sense things accurately and, therefore, to overcome this inability to sense accurately we feign the idea of some continued existence in our thoughts of things, whether they be through the idea of identity or difference.  When we apply this "messed up" process of ours to ourselves, we create the idea of self or soul. Hume calls this a "natural propensity". For Hume, the way in which we assert personal identity has to do with our inability to notice sensual information (impression) as they actually occur. That is, our in ability to comprehend all the variants involved in what we actually experience "gives rise to " our mistaken conception of identity and difference. While Hume does assert, however, that there may be a "natural propensity" to affirm the existence of a self, soul, personal identity, etc., he does not account for where such a "propensity" comes from. It is one thing to say that humans do not sense well, it is another thing to say why we don't like it being so. Think about it. There is plenty of room for Locke's Psychological State Theory here.

For Hume, those sensual impressions we experience are ALL that we are. There is no separate existence of Self or Mind, or Soul. This is why Hume writes that whenever he enters most intimately into what he calls himself, he always stumbles upon some sensual impression. He states that he can never catch himself without a sensual impression and that he never notices anything but the impression. When we think about ourselves it is always us doing something. We never notice the mind (Soul) by itself. We are the act of sensual impressions. When we stop sensing, we stop existing. We are tied to our physical nature this way. Welcome to Material Monism!

that’s me and my favourite philosopher: blaise pascal. 🤎

Pascal was a french philosopher, who wrote some of amazing notes, organized and published posthumously as “Thoughs” (Pensées), in which we can find everything about his philosophy.

I really love the part of l’esprit de géométrique (which refers to the reason, the head) et d’esprit de finesse (which refers to the heart), but also the divertissiment, which I think that it’s one of the true thing that exist, because with the divertissiment, Pascal indicates that we, for not thinking about the death and the existence in general, we start to think about so many things for don’t think about ours fears and ours problems. And that’s we do nowadays: we always procrastinate, always complaining, but NEVER act. Pascal was right, wasn’t he?

The most famous quote of Pascal, and my favourite quote of philosophy ever, is connected with the concept of l’esprit de géométrique et l’esprit de finesse, and is “Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point” (The heart has its reasons, of which reason knows nothing).✨

Pascal is one of the best philosopher ever, is deep, analyzes the human soul and fully understands it, for this I am unconditionally in love with his thought.

💌 do you like Pascal? What is your favorite philosopher?
