Could David Hume's skepticism shake the very foundations of your beliefs?

Prepare to have your assumptions challenged as we explore the enigmatic world of one of philosophy's greatest skeptics.

Our latest episode of Philosophy 101 invites you into the mind of David Hume, with Peter Kreeft's "Socrates' Children" as our guide.

From Hume's disillusionment with faith to his revolutionary 'new science of thought,' we unravel the threads of Hume's impact on ethics, his skepticism towards religion, and his subsequent renown as a historian.

Join us for a riveting discussion that not only examines Hume's profound influence on the philosophical world but also provides a platform for reflecting on the timeless conflict between faith and reason.

Key Points from the Episode:

• The audacity of his arguments against miracles and the resurrection pose a formidable challenge to centuries of religious belief, putting Hume in the spotlight as a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern thought.
• Witness the skeptic's journey from obscurity to fame, as Hume's ideas blossom in Paris and beyond. Although initially his philosophical works were met with indifference, Hume's later success as a historian cemented his legacy. 
• We also ponder the tantalizing idea: how might Hume's views have shifted posthumously?
