All ice cubes melt when they are placed by the fire.
This is an ice cube.
Therefore, this ice cube melts when placed by the fire.
How would Hume criticize this reasoning? Be sure to include in your essay a discussion of the following issues: (Don’t just give a short answer; explain and defend your answers in detail): What type of argument is the above? Is the conclusion of such an argument known with certainty? What type of proposition is ‘This ice cube melts when placed by the fire?’ Can it be known to be true with certainty? How do we come to believe propositions such as ‘All ice cubes melt when they are placed by the fire?’ Can we proved the truth of propositions such as ‘All ice cubes melt when they are placed by the fire?’ If so, how? If not, why not?
The moralistic approach here seems to me to be that of reconditioning. That is her condition as it stands is that men have sex with her reciprocally satifying boths needs. In doing so the vunerable party (that being the women here) have come to believe thats the solution to a bad situation, the situation of being in a relationship that lacks the TLC needed by her. Here you must consider whether you want to get involved and try to recify the damage already done by the countless men whom just given her enough TLC to get by till the next guy comes along. If you do not want to get involved with this women then I suggest you start an educational curve with her by exolaining that what she wants will only suffice momentarily. On the other hand if you really like this women then you need to in many ways commit early on, that is is you chose to sleep with her its on the basis that you’d like to see her again to develop a regular gratuitious relationship. Sounds to me that the word relationship holds no sway for her as her experience of them has been none forfilling to evade this you must first base an established agreement to continue the sexual need in her. Which, from what it sounds like to m e is what she desires. Her fear of developing a relationship as predisposed by the many has created this quick fix situation. I understand that this may be a heavy burden to undertake but in my experience that which is difficult has plenty rewards. If you chose that it is to much to undertake then I would advise you not to do as many have before and not get involved sexually. There may be many who will and there may be some who have not, what you must think of here is yourself and you feelings about the situation after an event such as sleeping with her. Seems to me you are a thoughtful and considerate person else you’d not be speaking as you do, I would advice to develop a platonic relationship if you can if not then a sexual one of commitment.
Nice to know theres people like you either way but if the shoe was on the other foot this is probably what I would do.
To follow this logic you have to accept the first condition in the statement as true. There are circumstances where the first condition is not necessarily true.
