Wollstonecraft and Hume.

I believe Mary Wollstonecraft and David Hume would have spoken about various topics. Both Wollstonecraft and Hume had a few things in common, they could reason and both of them were from Great Britain and lived in about the same time period. I believe the conversation could include the topic of humans as a species in terms of equality, not only man and woman but also to include different races. Also I believe the two would talk about free-will and moral responsibility. Including the cultural and societal expectation of their time. Hume would argue the psychological approach while Wollstonecraft would argue the rational. I believe the discussion between the two would become intense. The topic of Christianity would also be discussed since Hume was believed to be atheist and since Wollstonecraft speaks of Adam and Eve in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.

MW: Mr. Hume do you believe women are made inferior to men, since they are stated to be created from a mere rib of a man?

DH: Ms. Wollstonecraft I do not believe this could have possibly occurred.

MW: Do you mean the idea of women being inferior?

DH: No, Adam and Eve.
