On Suicide
On Suicide | David Hume
4 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are. One of the most important thinkers ever to write in English, the Empiricist David Hume liberated philosophy from the superstitious constraints of religion; here, he argues that all are free to choose between life and death, considers the nature of personal taste and succinctly criticises common philosophies of the time.

I copied this and made a picture to share after @GypsyKat said ok.

never knowing that I would have to call 911 for my sister in law, an hour or so later. She is doing ok.

Thank you for posting and I am sending my picture to get printed and I am writing notes to my friends & family on the back. I am putting a magnet on it so they have that number and mine. I do not want them to ever feel alone, They are to precious i me.
