First sentence: In one of the fundamental works of modern philosophy, written in the midst of the Enlightenment, David Hume, in his discussion of common sense and memory argued that while the defects of common sense could not be remedied by art or invention, the defects of memory 'both in the field of business and the field of studies' could be minimized or eliminated altogether.
