-"[Human beings] How hostile and destructive to each other! How insufficient all of them for their own happiness! How contemptible or odious to the spectator!"
—David Hume. Dialogues Concerning Human Religion
-Judging by the human's behaviour, Hume found insufficient evidence to assume that a good, and powerful God exists
A theory that there is no established knowledge of a self, but that self is just a bundle of perceptions.
Design
-When his perceptions are erased by death, he is absolutely destroyed.
-One of the arguments of The Five Ways by Thomas Aquinas
-Argues that the world shows order and purpose that can only be the works of a 'conscious intelligence'
Personal immortality is a meaningless idea.
-no constant identity for us; a change in a thing
is a change in its identity
"All questions concerning personal identity can never possibly be decided..."
