Famous quotes by David Hume:

"What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'"

"He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper but he is more excellent who can suit his temper to any circumstances"

"I have written on all sorts of subjects . . . yet I have no enemies; except indeed all the Whigs, all the Tories, and all the Christians."

"Nothing is more surprising than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few."

"The Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one"

"Be a philosopher but, amid all your philosophy be still a man"

"When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities"

"A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence"

"Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous"

"Beauty is no quality in things themselves: it exists merely in the mind which contemplates them"

"Men often act knowingly against their interest."

"It's when we start working together that the real healing takes place... it's when we start spilling our sweat, and not our blood."

"To be a philosophical sceptic is, in a man of letters, the first and most essential to being a sound, believing Christian."

"It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger."

"What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'."

"No testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which it endeavors to establish."

"That the sun will not rise tomorrow is no less intelligible a proposition, and implies no more contradiction, than the affirmation, that it will rise."

"It is a just political maxim, that every man must be supposed a knave."

"There is not to be found, in all history, any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men, of such unquestioned good sense, education and learning, as to secure us against all delusion in themselves."

"Any person seasoned with a just sense of the imperfections of natural reason, will fly to revealed truth with the greatest avidity."

David Hume - Skeptiker und Menschenfreund

Duration: 27:34
Updated: 24 Jul 2013

Licht in das Dunkel menschlichen Erkennens zu bringen war das oberste Ziel des Philosophen David Hume. Geboren wurde er am 7. Mai 1711 im schottischen Edinburgh. Er gilt bis heute als eine der wichtigsten Leitfiguren der Aufklärung. Hume stellte den Menschen in den Mittelpunkt seiner Philosophie. Für ihn gab es keine grundlegende Erkenntnis außerhalb unserer Sinneseindrücke und Gefühle. Metaphysische „Erkenntnisse" hielt er für Spekulation. Moralischer Sinn und Mitgefühl, nicht etwa die Vernunft, bildeten für Hume die Grundlage moralischen Handelns. Seine skeptische und zugleich menschenfreundliche Philosophie erhellt bis in die heutige Zeit nachdenkliche Menschen, denen es um die Grundfragen des Denkens und des richtigen Lebens geht.

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume (FULL Audiobook) - part (1 of 3)

Duration: 92:25
Updated: 30 Aug 2013

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume (1711-1776) The Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a shortened and simplified version of Hume's masterpiece A Treatise of Human Nature. It sought to reach a wider audience, and to dispel some of the virulent criticism addressed toward the former book. In it, Hume explains his theory of epistemology, and argues against other current theories, including those of John Locke, George Berkeley, and Nicolas Malebranche. (Summary by Kirsten Ferreri)

Please enjoy and subscribe too. Thanks! David Hume (7 May [O.S. 26 April] 1711 -- 25 August 1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist, known especially for his philosophical empiricism and skepticism. He was one of the most important figures in the history of Western philosophy and the Scottish Enlightenment. Hume is often grouped with John Locke, George Berkeley, and a handful of others as a British Empiricist. Beginning with his A Treatise of Human Nature (1739), Hume strove to create a total naturalistic "science of man" that examined the psychological basis of human nature. In stark opposition to the rationalists who preceded him, most notably Descartes, he concluded that desire rather than reason governed human behavior, saying: "Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions." A prominent figure in the sceptical philosophical tradition and a strong empiricist, he argued against the existence of innate ideas, concluding instead that humans have knowledge only of things they directly experience. Thus he divides perceptions between strong and lively "impressions" or direct sensations and fainter "ideas", which are copied from impressions. He developed the position that mental behaviour is governed by "custom", that is acquired ability; our use of induction, for example, is justified only by our idea of the "constant conjunction" of causes and effects. Without direct impressions of a metaphysical "self", he concluded that humans have no actual conception of the self, only of a bundle of sensations associated with the self. Hume advocated a compatibilist theory of free will that proved extremely influential on subsequent moral philosophy. He was also a sentimentalist who held that ethics are based on feelings rather than abstract moral principles. Hume also examined the normative is--ought problem. He held notoriously ambiguous views of Christianity, but famously challenged the argument from design in his Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1777). Kant credited Hume with waking him up from his "dogmatic slumbers" and Hume has proved extremely influential on subsequent philosophy, especially on utilitarianism, logical positivism, William James, philosophy of science, early analytic philosophy, cognitive philosophy, and other movements and thinkers. The philosopher Jerry Fodor proclaimed Hume's Treatise "the founding document of cognitive science". Also famous as a prose stylist, Hume pioneered the essay as a literary genre and engaged with contemporary intellectual luminaries such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith (who acknowledged Hume's influence on his economics and political philosophy), James Boswell, Joseph Butler, and Thomas Reid.

"Nothing is more surprising than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few."

"The Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one"

"Be a philosopher but, amid all your philosophy be still a man"

"When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities"

"A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence"

"Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous"

"Beauty is no quality in things themselves: it exists merely in the mind which contemplates them"

"Men often act knowingly against their interest."

"It's when we start working together that the real healing takes place... it's when we start spilling our sweat, and not our blood."

"To be a philosophical sceptic is, in a man of letters, the first and most essential to being a sound, believing Christian."

"It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger."

"What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought'."

"No testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which it endeavors to establish."

"That the sun will not rise tomorrow is no less intelligible a proposition, and implies no more contradiction, than the affirmation, that it will rise."

"It is a just political maxim, that every man must be supposed a knave."

"There is not to be found, in all history, any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men, of such unquestioned good sense, education and learning, as to secure us against all delusion in themselves."
