53. Introduction to David Hume

[@luisitocabrera]

Mr. Gore. I am currently taking Modern Philosophy (in seminary) - and when I don't understand my professor, I go to KZbin to watch your video lecture and I go, "Ahhhhh. That's much better!". You are extremely clear in your teaching method. Thank you.

Great video professor, do you cover heidegger?

Yes, but it is much later in the course. There are approximately 90 lectures in this series, and this is #53, so please be patient.

An inquiry concerning human understanding by Hume written 1745.

[@samysantarella8287]

If Hume was honest with his theory, he would say that even though he has never seen someone rise from the dead, that it is not impossible that Jesus rose from the dead and that Christians have every right to believe that He did. Then he would reject the story that Jesus rose from the dead because he would say it’s more improbable than if He didn’t, all the while his theory that causation is false is more improbable than that it is!

[@jocr1971]

hume's point is not that causation is false but that causation cannot be deduced. therefore our description of causation is based on a best guess. a hypothesis. but one tested by repetition. a tested hypothesis is considered a provisional truth waiting for counter evidence.

[@majorharris8194]

Hume influenced Kant.

[@saimbhat6243]

Well, I get your drift professor. But cosmological argument doesn't prove god. It proves our ignorance, and after acceptance of ignorance, a true agnostic with stop at that accept ignorance and while as a christian will "take a leap of faith" and say it is god.

All the references made to cheerleaders are very inappropriate.
