Powerful; I loved the music, the video and this celebration of this most distinguished, learned and above all likable philosopher.

Thanks for the video.

The Nazis gave us autobahns; there are other examples if you wish to play the finger pointing game.

Hume was human, and therefore not perfect.

He lived in a racist age. So did Lincoln. And like Lincoln, he advocated the emancipation of slaves. But history does not remember Hume for his racism, or even his voluminous history books; he is remembered as a ground-breaking empirical philosopher.

Who are you to judge history with the gift of 20/20 hindsight, Mr. Xerxes?

David Hume was an inhuman beast!

Are you aware he was a distinguished racist and elitist bastard. Fine he was clever but such beasts dont really deserve a hearing! Lots of these pretentious philosphers needs banishing from culture and history!!!!!!!!!
