Into the Flow of Perceptions

About this episode

Sam and Joe explore the nature of self and perception through a quote by David Hume.

Sam and Joe discuss this David Hume quote: For my part, when I enter most intimately into what I call myself, I always stumble on some particular perception or other, of heat or cold, light or shade, love or hatred, pain or pleasure. I never catch myself at any time without perception, and never can observe anything but the perception. Contact us: thetenthousandthings@outlook.com Photo by Solstice Hannan
