Hume

  • Aristotle
  • can speak of a capacity and a disposition
  • disposition - how easy you get irritated
  • capacity - the ability for something to happen
  • Hume builds on this point
  • first thing Hume points out is that pleasure and pain move all animals to action
  • would the avoidance of pleasure be the new pain?
  • 1.) God is good
  • 2.) God is Nasty 
  • Manicheon  - 2 deities i.e. God/satan, Good/Evil,
  • 4.) 1,2,3 are all wrong because there is no goodness or badness in thing only in human sentiment
