“Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No.
Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No”
Hume
Does the above contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence?
Obviously “NO” to both questions. Therefore, commit it then to the flames: For it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.
Hume also said

Hume said we could not get an Ought from an Is. But we can surely get an Ought from a Hume.
