believe with a confidence (though the confidence is not ‘Justifiable”)‚ that we know something beyond the criteria of our experience which is the problem of induction‚ which is also the problem of explicating the very concept of inductive evidence. Hume argued that conditions are based upon experience and they are always subject to change. And linking the fact to the science behind the secret nature of body which is learned from the past experience‚ changes subsequently without change in their sensible

Both Hume and Kant made an important break from other logicians in putting forward a morality that does not include a higher being or god‚ for a man to identify his moral duty. Our fine sense does not tell us what something is morally wrong. According to Hume‚ the moral theory was based on his belief only reason can never cause action. What is going on well our five-sense convey sensory information to our mind and we get bad feelings‚ or we may not but in many cases‚ we will get a bad feeling‚ so

will ask four substantive questions: What does Hume say about knowledge? How does he say it? Why is the section important to the Treatise? And‚ lastly‚ is Hume’s theory on knowledge persuasive‚ or do his arguments crumble under greater scrutiny? In the section at hand‚ Hume attempts to offer his standard for epistemological certainty‚ presumably in response to René Descartes’ epistemology—his fusion of clear and distinct perceptions with innate ideas.
