Interesting in so many ways. Thanks for posting! Having studied many philosophers when I was too young to know what rang true, I now see David Hume as one who, for whatever reasons, went exceptionally deep - his investigations of the self, induction and causation scrape right down to the bare metal of life, the places you come to when deep-running doubt washes your eyes clear. Perhaps his lightness and wit were not unrelated to what he saw there.
