Hume had an interest on reasoning. He had an interest on how we perceive our external world and how do we react and reason based on this perception. Two important concepts in his interest on reasoning are Vulgar and Philosophical Standpoint.

 Vulgar means ideas that are “Carried, by a natural instinct or prepossession, to repose faith in their senses” With this, humans can straightforwardly identify their visual and tactile sensations with physical objects.

He compared vulgar thinking to wisdom in his article, ‘on wisdom’. Hume argued that vulgar thinking is dominated by “the first influence of general rules” upon the mind. Such rules are instinctively but “rashly formed” to regulate the imagination. If these rules are allowed to govern thought in the absence of further reflection and refinement, the result is prejudice instead of wisdom. The wise, in contrast, take care to survey the broadest possible range of experience, allowing a “second influence of general rules” to supplant the first. In this manner, the “capricious and uncertain” ideas of the vulgar give way to “the more general and authentic operations of the understanding” and the superior judgments of the wise.
