He says knowledge comes from sense impressions, and ideas are a copy; they are less clear and intense than the original impression. The mind brings thoughts via their association, what he calls "a principle of connection." They resemble contiguity, cause, and results. There are two different ways to justify a causal case: relations of thoughts or matters of truth. For example, "This room doesn't have four walls" isn't problematic; the room could have three walls.

He says knowledge comes from sense impressions, and ideas are a copy; they are less clear and intense than the original impression. The mind brings thoughts via their association, what he calls "a principle of connection." They resemble contiguity, cause, and results. There are two different ways to justify a causal case: relations of thoughts or matters of truth. For example, "This room doesn't have four walls" isn't problematic; the room could have three walls. The authenticity of any statement relies upon its establishment in experience or the memory of the experience. Hume argues that the possibility of a causal connection joining one event with another is just a psychological habit. The conviction that the sun will rise tomorrow connects with the level of probability that it will. Since he denies information on causation, Hume doesn't feel that things occur by coincidence. Belief in probability judgments communicates a degree of certainty about a future event. The hypothesis of Hume contends that human activity is administered by regular regulations, similarly as normal occasions are represented by regulations. Human thought processes are not really associated with their activities, but rather, Hume contends, they are continually conjoined.

Autorenporträt
David Hume (7 May 1711 - 25 August 1776) was a Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist, who is best known today for his highly influential system of philosophical empiricism, skepticism, and naturalism. Hume strove to create a naturalistic science of man that examined the psychological basis of human nature. Hume argued against the existence of innate ideas, positing that all human knowledge derives solely from experience. This places him with Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and George Berkeley as a British Empiricist.Hume argued that inductive reasoning and belief in causality cannot be justified rationally; instead, they result from custom and mental habit. We never actually perceive that one event causes another but only experience the "constant conjunction" of events. This problem of induction means that to draw any causal inferences from past experience, it is necessary to presuppose that the future will resemble the past, a presupposition which cannot itself be grounded in prior experience.An opponent of philosophical rationalists, Hume held that passions rather than reason govern human behaviour, famously proclaiming that "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions." Hume influenced utilitarianism, logical positivism, the philosophy of science, early analytic philosophy, cognitive science, theology, and many other fields and thinkers. Immanuel Kant credited Hume as the inspiration who had awakened him from his "dogmatic slumbers."
