Inconsistencies in Hume's Empirical ThoughtIn his Inquiry into Human Understanding, David Hume attempts to discover the ultimate truth about the origin of our knowledge. This leads him to suggest that all our ideas and knowledge arise from external experiences and sensations. He attempts to prove it by solving the “induction problem”. I disagree with Hume's ideas, and in this essay I will explain why. I will begin by explaining the problem of induction and the skeptical doubts that Hume raises regarding the inductive process. I will then explain how Hume solves the problem. Finally, I will conclude by offering a critique of Hume's doctrine and explaining why I find it incoherent. In order to understand Hume's problem of induction, it is first necessary to understand the principles on which it is based. At the beginning of his work, Hume declares that “all our weaker ideas or perceptions are copies of our more vivid impressions”1. He justifies this assertion with two arguments. First, he analyzes the roots of our knowledge and discerns that all knowledge has its origin in “a preceding feeling or feeling”2. For Hume, even the idea of ​​God derives from a prior sensation. He argues that we can have an idea of ​​God simply by increasing our ideas of wisdom and goodness. Essentially, we can multiply the goodness we feel or experience to infinity, in order to have an idea of ​​God. Second, Hume asserts that all knowledge must come from sensations. To illustrate this, he uses the example of a blind man. A blind person will have no idea or impression of the color blue. Since he has never seen blue, much less color, he has no way of knowing what blue is. Game...... middle of paper ......tions, Iran; [no date available] Steinberg, Eric [ed.].
