About this Quote

This quote by David Hume talks to the concept that all of our experiences, emotions, and ideas are just methods of perceiving the world around us. He suggests that to hate, to like, to believe, to feel, and to see are all forms of understanding. To put it simply, these are all ways of analyzing and understanding the world. Hume is recommending that our feelings, thoughts, and experiences are all methods of viewing the world, and that these perceptions are what shape our understanding of the world. He is stressing the importance of perception in our lives, and how it can shape our understanding of the world. He is also recommending that our understandings are what make us unique, and that they are the basis of our private experiences. Ultimately, Hume is recommending that our understandings are what make us human, which they are the basis of our understanding of the world.
