About Hume, by John Passmore

Vous trouverez ici un entretien télévisuel entre John Passmore et Bryan Magee, en cinq parties, à propos du philosophe écossais du 18ème siècle David Hume.

I invite you to watch a discussion between John Passmore and Bryan Magee about David Hume.

The leading philosopher of the Scottish Enlightenment, David Hume, is the subject of this program. In it, world-renowned author and professor Bryan Magee and expert John Passmore of the National Australian University discuss causality as the cornerstone of Hume’s philosophy. Also discussed are three of Hume’s basic philosophical views: anything that is not a fact, is illusion; judgments on fact must be based on concrete experience; and all knowledge is imperfect. Hume also denies the idea of a continuous identical self, refutes deism, and views reason as a slave to passion.
