Lezione II 13 - Hume

The Philosophy of David Hume. Perceptions, impressions, and ideas; complex ideas as a consequence of facts; relationships between ideas or associations of ideas (by similarity, contiguity, cause and effect). The foundation of causality and the main philosophical ideas (substance, self, etc.): not reason, but a habit turned belief. Skeptical empiricism and the recovery of common sense: moral sentiment, the morality of sympathy, sociability and hostility; aesthetic sentiment, beauty and ugliness. WHAT'S MISSING: universal ideas as an extension of a particular complex idea taken as a model; the critique of the philosophical concept of self and soul; Hume's reflections on religion.
