Purchase Hume's Enquiry - https://amzn.to/3by4R6n

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern empiricist philosopher David Hume' Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

It focuses specifically on where we get our conception of power or cause from. Hume considers whether we could get this notion from observing material bodies and their interactions, the interaction between our minds and our bodies, or the operations of the mind, specifically the will. He rejects each of these and says that it comes instead from our custom or habit of expecting necessary or customary connections between things we experience.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern empiricist philosopher David Hume' Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

It focuses specifically on what distinguishes what goes on in our belief that something is the case or is real, from the workings of the imagination or fancy. In Hume's view the key difference is that belief is accompanied by a feeling or sentiment associated with it.

Purchase Hume's Enquiry - https://amzn.to/3by4R6n

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern empiricist philosopher David Hume' Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

It focuses specifically on the principle that allows us to step beyond the confines of present sense-perception and past memory in "matters of fact" or "real existence". This is the principle of custom or habit, which inclines us to assume that the future will resemble the past. This principle, for Hume, lies at the basis of our association of ideas along the lines of cause and effect.
