In this thought-provoking work, David Hume, the distinguished Scottish philosopher, historian, and essayist, delves into the essence and foundation of morals. Written as an accessible summary of Book III from his seminal work, A Treatise of Human Nature, Hume invites us to ponder a critical debate Are morals derived from reason or sentiment? Do we understand them through logic and induction, or by instinctive feelings and a subtle internal sense? He challenges us to consider whether moral truths are universal for all rational beings or if they vary based on the unique constitution of humanity. (Excerpted from Section I – Of the General Principles of Morals) (Summary from the text and adapted from Wikipedia by lubee930)

Human Nature And Conduct - Part 1, The Place of Habit in Conduct-John Dewey
"Human Nature and Conduct" by John Dewey delves into the significant role that habit plays in shaping human behavior and moral decision-making. Dewey examines how our actions are often guided by ingrained habits rather than conscious reasoning, highlighting the importance of understanding these patterns to foster better conduct. This exploration remains relevant today as we navigate a world where automatic responses can overshadow deliberate choices. By reflecting on the interplay between habit and morality, listeners can gain insights into their own behaviors and the societal norms that influence them, making this work an enduring examination of human nature.
