David Hume (Edinburgh 26-4-1711 - 25-8-1776 Edinburgh) Leven 'Mijn Eigen Leven' Liever Filosofie dan Rechten Hume's Hoofdwerk ... Terug naar index Geschiedenis A. Leven I. 'Mijn eigen Leven' Op 18 april 1776 is David Hume, dan al ernstig ziek, klaar met zijn uiterst beknopte autobiografie My Own Life . De eerste zin luidt: 'Het is moeilijk voor iemand om lang over zichzelf te spreken zonder ijdel te worden; daarom zal ik kort zijn'. Het tekent hem. Wanneer Hume, nimmer gehuwd en kinderloos, in zijn testament laat opnemen dat op zijn graf een eenvoudig monument moet komen te staan met daarin uitsluitend zijn naam gehakt, verzucht zijn vriend en econoom Adam Smith, schrijver van het boek Wealth of Nations eerlijk mens'. Hoezeer ook Hume in zijn handelen als een bescheiden persoon te boek staat, als hulpvaardig, vrijgevig, evenwichtig, en bovenal goedaardig, zo valt eveneens overal te lezen hoe extreem Hume was in zijn denken, hoe meedogenloos in discussies, hoe meesterlijk in zijn geschriften. Dat radicale denken komt beneden aan de orde, maar eerst wordt hier kort - hoe zouden we anders durven - het leven geschetst van deze Verlichte Schot, le bon David , die, nota bene als atheist, in de naar hem vernoemde St. David Street woonde.

David Hume, 1711-1776. One of the greatest philosophers in Western history, as well as an accomplished historian, economist, perennial skeptic and delightful fellow. David Hume was one of the most prominent figures of the Scottish Enlightenment and a close friend of Adam Smith . Hume's contributions to economics are found mostly in his Political Discourses (1752), which were later incorporated into his Essays Hume was a virulent anti-Mercantilist . He was adamant that wealth was measured by the stock of commodities of a nation, not its stock of money. He was also one of the better articulators of the Quantity Theory and the neutrality of money ("It is none of the wheels of trade: it is the oil which renders the motion of the wheels more smooth and easy", Of Money , 1752). Contrary to the Mercantilists, Hume related low interest rates not to abundant money, but to booming commerce. He was one of the first to spell out the "loanable funds" theory of interest, arguing that interest rates are determined by the demand for loans and the supply of saving. Low interest rates are thus symptoms of a booming, commercial economy, where thrift and the desire for gain and accumulation take hold. However, he admitted that in the short-run (and only the short-run), a rising supply of money could have a beneficial effect on industry.

L'EMPIRISME I DAVID HUME (1711-1776) Però l'empirisme, com a moviment filosòfic, es fa ressò d'una llarga tradició britànica. Entre els seus antecedents podem esmentar el nominalista Guillem d'Occam (Medieval: S.XIVè).També recull la teoria de la ciència de Bacon (Renaixement) i la teoria política de Hobbes, autor del llibre "Leviathan o l'Estat" pels aspectes ètics i polítics. La paraula "Empirisme" prové del grec empíria o empeireia que significa: "experiència". Els empiristes diuen que el coneixement racional no depèn de la suposada existència d'idees innates, sinó que es fonamenta en l'experiència, en el concret, o (en expressió de Locke) "en el comerç amb el món". No hi ha raó que pugui prescindir del coneixement sensible, la raó humana no és autosuficient sinó que depèn de la sensibilitat. Com a moviment, podem assenyalar quatre grans idees en el conjunt de l'empirisme:

Philosophy Pages F A Q Dictionary ... Locke David Hume Life and Works Ideas Belief The Self ... Internet Sources Soon after completing his studies at Edinburgh, Scottish philosopher David Hume began writing his comprehensive statement of the views he believed would contribute to philosophy no less than Newton's had to science. But the public reception for the three books of his magisterial Treatise of Human Nature (1739) was less than cordial, and Hume abandoned his hopes of a philosophical career in order to support his family as a librarian, historian, diplomat, and political essayist, a course of action he described in the autobiographical My Own Life (1776). Hume's Essays Moral and Political (1741-1742) found some success, and the multi-volume History of England (1754-1762) finally secured the modest livelihood for which he had hoped. Although he spent most of his life trying to produce more effective statements of his philosophical views, he did not live to see the firm establishment of his reputation by the criticisms of Kant and much later appreciation of the logical positivists The central themes of Book I of the Treatise receive a somewhat more accessible treatment in An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding (1748), a more popular summary of Hume's

Life David Hume was born in 1711 to a moderately wealthy family from Berwickshire Scotland, near Edinburgh. His background was politically Whiggish and religiously Calvinistic. As a child he faithfully attended the local Church of Scotland pastored by his uncle. Hume was educated by his widowed mother until he left for the University of Edinburgh at the age of eleven. His letters describe how as a young student he took religion seriously and obediently followed a list of moral guidelines taken from The Whole Duty of Man , a popular Calvinistic devotional. Leaving the University of Edinburgh at around age fifteen to pursue his education privately, he was encouraged to consider a career in law, but his interests turned to philosophy. During these years of private study he began raising serious questions about religion, as he recounts in the following letter: Tis not long ago that I burn'd an old Manuscript Book, wrote before I was twenty; which contain'd, Page after Page, the gradual Progress of my Thoughts on that head [i.e. religious belief]. It begun with an anxious Search after Arguments, to confirm the common Opinion: Doubts stole in, dissipated, return'd, were again dissipated, return'd again.

16. David Hume -- Writings On Religion [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] David Hume (17111776) Writings on Religion. David Hume ranks among the most influential philosophers in the field of the philosophy of religion. http://www.iep.utm.edu/h/humereli.htm

David Hume (1711-1776) Writings on Religion David Hume ranks among the most influential philosophers in the field of the philosophy of religion. He criticised the standard proofs for God's existence, traditional notions of God's nature and divine governance, the connection between morality and religion, and the rationality of belief in miracles. He also advanced theories on the origin of popular religious beliefs, grounding such notions in human psychology rather than in rational argument or divine revelation. The larger aim of his critique was to disentangle philosophy from religion and thus allow philosophy to pursue its ends without either rational over-extension or psychological corruption. Although we find religious themes throughout Hume's publications, the discussion here are largely restricted to six items: (1) "Of Miracles", (2) "Of a Particular Providence and of a Future State", (3) "The Natural History of Religion", (4) Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion , (5) "Of Suicide", and, (6) "Of the Immortality of the Soul."

DAVID HUME (1711-1776) "When we run over libraries, persuaded of these principles, what havoc must we make? If we take in our hand any volume of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance, let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames, for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion." An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding "Methinks that I am like a man, who having struck on many shoals, and having narrowly escap'd ship-wreck in passing a small firth, has yet the temerity to put to sea in the same leaky weather-beaten vessel, and even carries his ambition so far as to thi nk of compassing the globe under this disadvantageous circumstances...Fain wou'd I run into the crowd for shelter and warmth; but cannot prevail with myself to mix with such deformity. I call upon others to join me, in order to make a company apart, but no one will harken to me. Everyone keeps a distance, and dreads that storm that beats upon me from every side. I have expos'd myself to the enmity of all metaphysicians, logicians, mathematicians, and even theologians; and can I wonder at the insults I must suffer?... Can I be sure that in leaving all establish'd opinions I am following the truth?" A Treatise of Human Nature David Hume was a Scottish philosopher. historian and economist. Among the interesting features of Hume's empiricist philosophy are a revolutionary view of causality, the problem of induction, and the distinction between fact and value. Hume advocates various forms of moderate or mitigated skepticism. He was a relentless critic of metaphysics and religion. In the

David Hume A too "ardent application" to his studies threatened his health, and in 1734, determined to try a complete change of scene and occupation, Hume entered a business house in Bristol. In a few months he found "the scene totally unsuitable," and he set out for France, resolved "to make a very rigid frugality supply my deficiency of fortune, to maintain unimpaired my independency, and to regard every object as contemptible, except the improvement of my talents in literature." He visited Paris, resided for a time at Rheims, and then settled at La Fleche, where Descartes had gone to school. During his three years in France he wrote the ' Treatise of Human Nature ', and in 1737 returned to London to attend to its publication. It appeared in three volumes during 1739-1740. Contrary to his expectations, his first effort "fell deadborn from the press, without reaching such distinction as even to excite a murmur among the zealots." Upon the failure of his book Hume retired to Ninewells and devoted himself to study, mainly in politics and economics. In 1741 he published the first volume of his ' Essays, Moral and Political

20. Of The Study Of History By David Hume (1711-1776) An essay on the study of history, by David Hume (17111776). http://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboard/shop/humed/history.htm

Of The Study Of History by David Hume Lives , assuring her, at the same time, that there was not a word of truth in them from beginning to end. She perused them very attentively, till she came to the lives of Alexander and Caesar, whose names she had heard of by accident, and then returned me the book, with many reproaches for deceiving her. But I know not whence it comes that I have been thus seduced into a kind of raillery against the ladies; unless, perhaps, it proceed from the same cause, which makes the person, who is the favourite of the company, be often the object of their good-natured jests and pleasantries. We are pleased to address ourselves after any manner to one who is agreeable to us, and at the same time presume, that nothing will be taken amiss by a person, who is secure of the good opinion and affections of every one present. I shall now proceed to handle my subject more seriously, and shall point out the many advantages, which flow from the study of history, and show how well suited it is to every one, but particularly to those who are debarred the severer studies, by the tenderness of their complexion, and the weakness of their education. The advantages found in history seem to be of three kinds, as it amuses the fancy, as it improves the understanding, and as it strengthens virtue. But history is a most improving part of knowledge, as well as an agreeable amusement; and a great part of what we commonly call erudition, and value so highly, is nothing but an acquaintance with historical facts. An extensive knowledge of this kind belongs to men of letters; but I must think it an unpardonable ignorance in persons, of whatever sex or condition, not to be acquainted with the history of their own country, together with the histories of ancient Greece and Rome. A woman may behave herself with good manners, and have even some vivacity in her turn of wit; but where her mind is so unfurnished, it is impossible her conversation can afford any entertainment to men of sense and reflection.
