Henry David Thoreau‚ an American Transcendentalist and philosopher‚ is the ideal person who I consider significant to hold a conversation with.

My theme song is "Heroes" by David Bowie. This song best represents me because it’s about how even though things might not go your way‚ for one day you can be a hero when you’re with the one you love.

This paper will present and explain David Hume’s attack on the traditional understanding of causal power. In order to do this I will use one of his most important claims (NC) “We never observe any such causal power in any of our experiences” and see where (NC) fits into his attack and also give a better explanation of what (NC) means. Hume starts his justification of (NC) by stating that every idea we hold is inspired from an impression in the world. Thus‚ the concept of a circle comes from
