Hume's Philosophy:

We could only judge what good and bad art is through human nature, through whatever we see fit that brings pleasure to our eyes. The difficulty is that one's opinion can change according to what they feed and what their emotions are. If one were, for example, to have a fever, that person would have a much different opinion if he or she were to be well. He or she might choose for example, tea rather than coffee when sich with a fever and coffee over tea after a night of partying with a hangover. Small things can affect one's opinions. If someone were in a bad mood, he or she would choose the most gloomy, dark, and/or gruesome paiting. If someone were to be in a good mood, he or she would choose the most cheerful, happy and bright painting.

Why do our emotions effect our opinions so easily?
