“Unexamined life is not worth living” - and yourself with the mindset and goal of
Socrates improvement is important, probably
essential. A life without this inquisitiveness
and curiosity would be boring, pointless,

“Man is of a bifurcated/ dual nature” – St. rational, sensitive, living body, and that a

“Self is nothing but a bundle or collection of You are bundle of impression: Try to think
different perceptions” – David Hume about your “self”. You cannot. Or, when
you do, the only things you are thinking
about are individual impressions, such as
hot, cold, light, dark, love, hate, pain,
pleasure, etc. It follows that all “you” are is
 a bundle of successive impressions, or
perceptions.
The aspects that make up these developed
ideas most have been already experienced,

colour, and deaf people cannot imagine
sound. Another argument raised by many

being created, therefore innate ideas and
concept exists. Instinct does not count as
knowledge.
