"If true taste is based on reason, are instincts reason enough to find, for example, fire beautiful?"
To be honest, I'm not sure what I was originally thinking of when I asked this question. I do think instincts are a reason for us to act a certain way though.The instincts are not bad things either, so I think in a way, it can be reason enough. But, I don't think that Humes would think it's enough. It's not a logical enough reason. Instincts are very feeling based, so saying, "I think this because I feel that," then it's not logical. We must find reasons to back up our feelings about our true taste and how to defend them, but we do all have our natural preferences.
