Hume - Architects of Ideas Series

What are the limits of human understanding? How does the principle of causality occur in the mind? Can thoughts form in the mind independently of impressions? Can we talk about reasoning and knowledge other than mathematical and factual reasoning? Are the existence of God, the attributes of God, and the immortality of the soul knowable by the human mind? Are the miracles and revelations claimed in religious books real or fiction? Is suicide morally right? Is the self a fiction? Is reason or emotion the basis of our actions and choices? How can social peace and justice be achieved?

The answers given to these questions by David Hume, one of the most prominent philosophers in the history of philosophy, in the eighteenth century caused great shocks and caused an irreversible revolutionary and radical expansion in the intellectual adventure of man. Understanding Hume is inevitable in terms of understanding both the history of philosophy and the basic problems and future of philosophy.
