Hume's Skepticism

This week we'll be covering Hume's Treatise on Human Nature. Be sure to bring the reading to class (either in physical or virtual form) as we will be specifically referring to the text.

The main question to consider in Hume's account (and that you are considering within your short writing assignment before tomorrow morning) is: where do ideas come from? His answer can be stated forthrightly and simply and he provides us with a clear explanation as to why he answers the question as he does.

However, this is not the whole story. Consider the implications of this position for any and all of our ideas and bring with you an example that we can consider as a group so as to test out this idea.
