Prompt: In Treatise 2.3.3.4, Hume concludes: We speak not strictly and philosophically when we talk of the combat of passion and of reason. Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them. In your paper, you should answer three questions: How did Hume arrive at that conclusion? How might one object to Humes argument? And how does, or might, Hume respond to that objection? For the second question, you can think of how Chrysippus or Kant might object to Hume or you can come up with your own objection. For the third question, you can draw on material in Hume or Arpaly & Schroeder or you can come up with your own response on Humes behalf. Your paper should have a title, brief introduction (including a statement of the thesis you will argue for), and a brief conclusion.
