Ep. 17: Hume’s Empiricism

Product Description

The first installment in our initial run of epistemology episodes.

What can we know? We read David Hume’s An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (1748) to discuss his theory of knowledge that all we can know are our own impressions, and his consequent view of causality as merely a pattern of conjoined events, not really a power within things.
