On Hume...

For me, the opening quote of the article really struck me. I feel this really gives a good summary to the article, and properly describes one of the most interesting phenomena, that of the aspect of memory. Of all species, the ability of humans to look back to past experiences, and learn from them (or at least apply some concepts of them), is seemingly unique and very useful.
Hume separates his main ideas into two branches, that of the thoughts and the other impressions. In my opinion, this relates to thinking, and analysis. In this way, memory is a great application of this, allowing a “recording” of a moment, which can be repeated and analyzed later. Moreover, he seems to question the idea of assigning definitions to items. To address the point of what is truth I feel he does not really reach a conclusion, as that in of itself is assigning something, and thereby creating a flaw in the argument.
His basic points still ring true as introducing fundamental concepts, such as that of memory. One of his more confusing arguments is regarding cause and effect, in the sense that every single cause can have virtually an unlimited amount of effects. This directly is derived from his argument on the human imagination, as it is due to this cognitive reasoning skill that so many possible solutions are calculated and possibly expected.
