Citat #15
“If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphyics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.”
- David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

Uha. Brænde bøger?
Jeg er ret sikker på det er en metafor, og at Hume ikke mener vi bogstaveligt skal rende rundt og brænde bibler eller lignende.
