    the problem of induction- Discuss two different solutions to it. The problem of induction is the philosophical issue of whether using induction to justify our beliefs is reasonable. We have memories and experience from past events that allow us to prepare for the future.

    Hume on Personal Identity

    • 1534 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Hume ’s view of what constitutes personal identity rests heavily upon his preceding theories concerning the nature of ideas and causation. The most important preceding ideas to take into account are the rejection of causality and necessary connection and his strict empiric stance on the basis of knowledge and the only two types of perception being ideas that are reliant on initial impressions. There will clearly be difficulty in defining and explaining ’the self ’ when both the notions of causality

    Hume Vs Kant

    • 1828 Words
    • 8 Pages

    In this paper I will be contrasting the moral philosophies of David Hume and Immanuel Kant. Although I will be discussing several ideas from each philosopher the main theme of my paper will be dealing with the source of morality. It is my opinion that Hume’s sentiment based‚ empirical method is more practical than the reason based‚ a priori theory of Kant. According to Kant moral law must be known a priori‚ and must be able to be universally applied to all beings. Kant asserts that empirical explanations

    and rationalist concluded that one self was merely a continuous awareness of one’s own existence; one’s substance was one’s ability to think. On the other hand‚ David Hume‚ an empiricist refuted Descartes conclusion and claimed that the concept of self was nonsense‚ the idea could not be linked to any sensual experience. Ultimately‚ Hume concluded that there was no such thing as self‚ i.e. self does not actually exist and that the concept was an illusion. Overall‚ Descartes theory of self is more reasonable
