  AN ENQUIRY CONCERNING HUMAN UNDERSTANDING   v INTRODUCTION   Impressions, according to Hume, are the root of all ideas, but ideas might be either the result of sensation alone or the result of the imagination functioning in harmony with experience. The creative faculty, according to Hume, employs four mental operations to generate imaginings from sense-impressions. Imagine a man who has seen every hue of blue save one, as Hume suggests. Despite the fact that he has never seen it, he predicts that this individual will be able to discern the hue of this specific shade. This appears to pose a significant difficulty for the empirical account, but Hume dismisses it as an outlier, arguing that one can have a unique thought that is devoid of meaning.

It is true that philosophy could establish the truth of certain fundamental questions that tend to refer to what is and what should be, and also how we can know what it is. They also tend to think in ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, politics, and aesthetics. Philosophical (critical) thinking protects us against unfounded ideology, unwarranted authority, unfounded beliefs, unfounded propaganda, and questionable cultural values. These forces can manipulate us if we cannot think critically about them. This does not require a rejection of these various ideas, beliefs and values, only a reflection on them. Otherwise, they are not our values, ideas or beliefs; ...
