making it very easy to understand as the original text is much more difficult to read, also gives a good outline so you can fill in the details by reading it. Thanks so much
Ah okay thank you very much. I'm re-reading the Enquiry now and was trying to look at the clear transition from how Hume goes from talking about customs to freedom. In the past it seemed like it just popped up right after he goes about the constant conjunctions numerous times. I see this now as if humans are from the same culture and enamored in the same customs how can they as you say "individually be free." and it is as Hume says on Section 8 Of Liberty and Necessity. Hume: "Are the manners of men different in different ages and countries? We learn thence the great force of custom and education, which mould the human mind from its infancy, and form it into a fixed and established character." I really like it how he also rhetorically implies we have limited understanding of past cultures as he puts with his example of Greeks and Romans and French and English.

I think Hume is pretty committed to us being able to understand the Greeks and Romans
Hume seems like the best of all philosophers to have over for dinner.
He certainly enjoyed many of them!
