Anyways, as a seperate post...
The problem with Hume stating that reason does not exist (taking the assumption that he's right) is that ANYTHING that uses reason to come to a conclusion is FALSE. Which means, as long as you can say "The Sun is Florecent Green on any clear day" without basing that thought on reason, it is true. However, with that "Truth" established, it would be futile to try and argue against it, as you would need to rely on reason to do so. Basically put, since what Hume discovered about reason is true, nothing in the world can exist, as reason is needed to back it up. Even the basic argument "Why?"-"Because" is still an answer based around reason.
