David Hume: Radical Empiricist's Principle
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. David Hume asserts the radical
empiricists principle: "All our ideas come from
impressions." The manner by which one could determine the implications this principle has upon the remainder of Hume's philosophy is to digest the philosopher's theories as a whole, rather than compartmentalizing them into individual sectors. Indeed, some may argue that Hume is not consistent in his application of this treatment; however,
when one looks more closely at the fundamental basis of Hume's collective thoughts, it becomes significantly easier to see that his consistency is not worthy of questioning. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

(1711-1776) thinking on the “obligation of promises” as expressed
in his “Treatise of Human Nature.” Hume believed that
participation in a just society requires an individual’s
obligation to the promise to support that government. It is not
based on fear but what Hume referred to as “enlightened

the marketplace depend on obligation to promises. As a result,
compliance to government is also required in order to keep one’s
promises. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
