David Hume, Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

Hume

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

It focuses specifically on his discussion in section 1 of the work, specifically the distinction Hume makes from the very first paragraph between two different modes of engaging in moral philosophy. One of these is what he calls "easy" and "obvious" philosophy, intended for the broad public, lacking rigor but suited for guiding the live of activity, business, and sociability.  The other is what he calls "abstruse", "abstract", or "accurate" (and sometimes "metaphysics"), does have much more rigor, but will always be less popular and pertains to us as reasonable beings.
