David Hume, Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding - Probability Of Chance And Causes

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.

David Hume, Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding - Laws, Actions, And Punishments

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.

David Hume, Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding - Experience And Cause And Effect

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.
