David Hume, Sceptic
Original language description
Hume wrote in the time of the emerging modernity which gave rise to a new kind of scepticism, involving doubt not just about the adequacy of our knowledge but about the very existence of a world independent of the self. Hume's empiricism added yet another sceptical theme: how can one, on empirical basis, rationally justify key concepts of human understanding? Moreover, Hume was influenced by Pyrrhonian scepticism, much discussed by philosophers at the time. The Pyrrhonian legacy is especially noticeable in his acceptance of the weakness of reason and in his emphasis on the practical role of philosophy.n
