[David Hume's] tomb stands, as he wished it, on the southwestern slope of Calton Hill, in the Old Calton Cemetery. Adam Smith later recounted Hume's amusing speculation that he might ask Charon, Hades' ferryman, to allow him a few more years of life in order to see "the downfall of some of the prevailing systems of superstition". The ferryman replied, "You loitering rogue, that will not happen these many hundred years.… Get into the boat this instant."

"os demais homens não são senão um feixe ou uma coleção de diferentes percepções, que se sucedem umas às outras com uma rapidez inconcebível, e estão em perpétuo fluxo e movimento".

David Hume, na minha forma de pensar, elevou alguns princípios protagoreanos dos quais víamos apenas uns resquícios e deturpações pelo Platão, a uma epistemologia bem interessante e atualizada para o mundo do iluminismo do século XVIII, baseada na experiência sensorial, após antecessores como Pierre Bayle e Montaigne.

Não existe um "eu" ou identidade imutável e permanente... Pois cada mente humana é resultado da experiência, um fluxo contínuo de sensações e percepções, um movimento em sucessão de impressões e ideias que se interligam.

“Nothing appears more surprising to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.” - #DavidHume

Ich rolle mich am Floor und lach mich scheckig.

Zudem ganz netter Essay über #DavidHume und #Empirismus und das alte Problem von Qualität (Eigenschaft; Natur, Zustand, Bedingung) und Quantität (Größe, Menge, Ausmaß).

Was sich nicht messen lässt, damit kann auch nicht computiert* (gerechnet), wohl aber nachgedacht werden.

* PIE-Wurzel ›*pau-‹: schneiden, schlagen, stempeln.

A one-man play about #DavidHume trying pineapple for the first time

Why do we do good things for others? What are the mental or emotional processes that lead to our holding the door open for a stranger or supporting a friend in need? Big Think takes a look at whether being moral is motivated by passion or reason, applied to modern-day scenarios including people's adherence to COVID-19 health recommendations.

Kant viewed Hume’s work as reflecting the issues of science and therefore attempted a reply to his critique of causality and all scientific knowledge, in order for science or philosophy to be able to claim necessarily true knowledge about the world... #philosophy #ImmanuelKant #copernicanrevolution #constructivism #science #philosophyofscience #reason #knowledge #historyofphilosophy #DavidHume #fmdnetwork https://philosophyindefinitely.wordpress.com/2020/09/14/kants-copernican-revolution/

There has been an intersection of modern empiricism and rationalism of the enlightenment in the synthesis affected by Immanuel Kant, out of this grew a distinction between two methodologies that have persisted in philosophy... read more at philosophy indefinitely #historyofphilosophy #empiricism #rationalism #epistemology #FrancisBacon #johnlocke #ImmanuelKant #ReneDescartes #DavidHume #Leibniz #johnstuartmill #spinoza #BertrandRussell #Compatibilism #philosophyofscience https://philosophyindefinitely.wordpress.com/2020/07/11/19th-century-empiricism/

David Hume (1711-1776) was a rather multi-faceted intellectual, as a non-believer, he wrote without reference to god in his philosophical works, considering the mind to be constituted by nature and history to be contingent with no specific divine theme and not developing towards any ideal conclusion... #DavidHume #scepticism #empiricism #philosophy #historyofphilosophy https://philosophyindefinitely.wordpress.com/2020/09/05/the-radical-scepticism-of-hume/

Someone said a tech policy was "necessary and impossible" and my neurons went in overdrive. I'm going to blame some Aristotelian logician.

Prior to 1748 (about 9 years earlier), Hume completed ‘A Treatise Concerning Human Nature‘, in both this and his ‘Enquiry…’ his focus is on epistemology which is the focus of this enlightenment period. During this period Berkeley’s ‘Principles of Natural Knowledge‘ was also published and Leibniz’s ‘New Essays On Human Understanding‘... read more at philosophy indefinitely #historyofphilosophy #philosophy #DavidHume #scepticism #enlightenment #knowledge https://philosophyindefinitely.wordpress.com/2020/05/02/david-hume/
