In the section "Of the Reason of Animals" Hume is comparing how we are alike animals and so are children and philosophers. Usually when we observe animals we see them do a lot of things we can't explain. We say that they do these things because of "instinct" or innateness. From what I read Hume is saying we are like animals and we have sort of the same connection. I really don't agree with this. I think as humans we usually learn from others more then instinct and innateness. Animals are just born with knowing what to do in certain situations. I think we are very different then animals.

I happen to disagree i think we are vey much like animals. we all have to have certain instincts when we are younger. My dog has an automatic instinct when to wana go get his food. he made a yelp so you know when she was hungry
