David Hume: Causation and Belief
from Reading Philosophy · host Diffusion
David Hume critiques the Aristotelian notion of causation. We cannot prove causal connections by a priori reasoning. So our causal thinking has to come from somewhere else, namely our nature given instincts.This episode also looks at the difference between thought and belief, including Hume's idea that believing something is a kind of feeling.You can join future live sessions at https://discord.gg/philosophy
