Activity 2: Among the different philosophical perspectives, choose at least one philosophy about self that
you agree the most.

I chose David Hume as one of the philosophers, wherein he believes that one can only know what
comes from the senses & experiences which I agree with the most. We can not know something if we
can’t experience it, also, we can’t say that we experienced it if we can’t feel it, see it, smell it, hear it, or
taste it, which are our five senses. Our senses allow us to interact with other people. Our experiences
shape who we really us, our beliefs, our values, and the perspective of our life. Our experiences can tell us
if we do something wrong or right, if our decisions really help us or not. Also, our experiences shape our
mindsets and our trust. We can learn from our past experiences and help us to grow and to be a better
person.
