emptied heart, to experience pure thought - that
was his goal. When all the Self was conquered and
dead, when all passions and desires were silent,
then the last must awaken, the innermost of Being
that is no longer Self - the great secret (14)
Siddhartha, according to his actions, was
constantly in search for ...

Causes And Effects Psychological Egoist
1,887 words
In his Treatise of Human Nature, David Hume
outlines his theory of human morality. Hume? s

themselves can never present themselves as the
product of any sort of reasoning, it would be
illogical to ever judge a moral action as rational
or irrational. This, therefore, raises the
question, what is the role of reason in moral
thinking? This paper will ...
