Motivational Thought

In the reading An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume, the author tries to define the human psyche. Hume tries to discover the process of human thought, through the means of experience, observation and the senses within every aspect of life including and not limited to: personality, education, morals, law, religion and fantasy. Hume is very thorough in detailing every thought a person may conceive and how each thought may be materialized. Hume touched on the basis for human motivation; why do humans do what they do. He explains that thinking by nature is innate but each thought is connected through experience.
