An Important Quote
“Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.”
Regarding epistemology and theory of knowledge, Hume once claimed: “Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.”
David Hume explained it this way because he believed that reason was only based on the natural instincts of humans. Hume summed up this idea in his “Treatise of Human Nature”, a work in which he explains how any theory of reality is possible, because the only knowledge humanity has is that of experience.
