“When we run over libraries, persuaded of these principles, what havoc must we make? If we take in our hand any volume of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance, let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?

In the excerpt of the Scottish historian and philosopher David Hume in his book An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding he concludes that it is important to have a scientific focus of the philosophical themes, in this case he lets the readers know about his unconformity about the way in which some human beings reject or do not simply understand certain kind of analysis. In the quote is possible to read between lines how the author talks about the the absenteeism of the academic formation and abstract sense in the way of analyzing and vociferating the world around.
