I don't know if it's the stress of getting ready to start my first semester of college or what, but I'm finding my erotic thoughts have been gravitating toward females more often than not, and I'm not sure what exactly I should do about the fact.

David Hume (1711–1776) is a towering and intriguing figure. He was the preeminent philosopher in what is now called the Scottish Enlightenment, a time that was “crowded with genius” and in a place regarded as the rebirth of the golden era of Athens. His writing displayed an astonishing range, addressing everything from metaphysics to politics, and in subject after subject, he produced fresh, novel, and brilliant insights.
