Hume: Metaphysics and Epistemology
Edited by Jonny Cottrell (York University)
About this topic
| Summary | Hume approaches topics in metaphysics and epistemology via his theory of ideas and the cognitive faculties. In metaphysics, his primary interest is in questions not of the form ‘What is X?’ but of the form ‘What can we conceive X to be?’ His best-known contribution is his argument that causation, as far as we can conceive it, is just regular succession among objects or events, plus our habit of inferring one object or event from another. He also made important contributions concerning space and time, existence, identity, substances, and free will. In epistemology, his primary interest is in questions of the form ‘Which of our cognitive faculties is responsible for our belief in X?’ His best-known contribution is his argument that habit, not reason, engages us to suppose that unobserved events will resemble observed ones (a view concerning what philosophers now call induction). He also made important contributions concerning the distinction between the a priori and the a posteriori, belief in the external world, and religious belief. |
| Key works | Books that discuss Hume's views about a range of topics in metaphysics and epistemology (construed broadly, so as to include philosophy of mind, action and language) include Stroud 1977, Garrett 1996 and Allison 2008. Fogelin 1985 and Loeb 2002 are devoted to his epistemology. For three different approaches to his theory of causation, see Blackburn 1990, Kail 2007 and Millican 2009. For two different approaches to his argument about induction, see Owen 1999 and Peter Millican's article 'Hume's Sceptical Doubts Concerning Induction,' in Millican 2001. |
| Introductions | Three introductory books that take quite different approaches to Hume's metaphysics and epistemology are Ayer 1980, Blackburn 2008 and Wright 2009. Norton & Taylor 1993 contains helpful introductory articles on Hume's views about several topics in metaphysics and epistemology. |

- Recasting Hume and Early Modern Philosophy. Selected Essays by Paul Russell (review).Catherine Dromelet - 2025 - Hume Studies 50 (1):175-180.Since 1985, Paul Russell has been emphasising the Hobbesian heritage of Hume's Treatise of Human Nature, when it comes to the scope and structure of Hume's secular, psychological account of morality. Highlighting the controversial significance of Hobbes's and Spinoza's reception during the golden period of theology in England, Russell contends, in The Riddle of Hume's "Treatise," that Hume's Treatise is pervaded with discussions originally motivated by irreligious intentions. In the reviewed volume, Russell goes on to hold that Hume's entire philosophical (...)
- Socializing Minds: Intersubjectivity in Early Modern Philosophy by Martin Lenz (review). E. E. Sheng - 2025 - Hume Studies 50 (1):181-186."Do our minds … depend on other minds?" In Socializing Minds, Martin Lenz challenges the view that an affirmative answer to this question—"the idea that our minds are intersubjective or social"—is "a fairly recent one, developed against the individualism of early modern philosophers" (1). In three case studies on Spinoza, Locke, and Hume (the book's three chapters), Lenz argues that each held an intersubjective model of the mind: Spinoza the "metaphysical model," Locke the "linguistic model," and Hume the "medical model."

- Hume on Chance, Probability, and Necessity.Thomas Holden - 2025 - Hume Studies 50 (1):139-161.I examine Hume's account of chance and his account of probabilistic judgment for the light they throw on his theory of causal necessity. A chance event, in Hume's analysis, is the reciprocal inverse image of a caused event. And an ordinary, full-confidence judgment of causal necessitation is, for Hume, a kind of limit case of probabilistic judgment—a case where our distribution of confidence across the various possible outcomes coalesces into one unique expectation. I argue that both Hume's treatment of chance (...)
- Hume's "New Scene of Thought": God, Causality, and the Science of Human Nature.Gianluca Mori - 2025 - Hume Studies 50 (1):105-138.Hume scholarship has rarely questioned the internal—not necessarily explicit—process of Hume's thought that led him to "the most violent paradox" that it occurred to him to propose, i.e., the denial of any "efficacious" causal power in objects, including God. A reappraisal of Hume's early writings and testimonies suggests that this revolutionary move must be placed at the core of what he later called "a new scene of thought" and that the latter originated in a theological reflection based on a reading (...)
- (1 other version)Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and Hume's Conception of Causality.Matias Slavov - unknownThis article investigates the relationship between Hume’s causal philosophy and Newton’s philosophy of nature. I claim that Newton’s experimentalist methodology in gravity research is an important background for understanding Hume’s conception of causality: Hume sees the relation of cause and effect as not being founded on a priori reasoning, similar to the way that Newton criticized non-empirical hypotheses about the properties of gravity. However, according to Hume’s criteria of causal inference, the law of universal gravitation is not a complete causal (...)
- Hume’s Scepticism and Kant’s Transcendental Deduction.Paul Tulipana & Dustin King - forthcoming - Kantian Review.Kant’s aim in the Transcendental Deduction is to prove that the a priori categories of the understanding necessarily apply to objects of experience. He claims that he will do this simply by explaining how they could so apply. But the idea that a mere explanation of this possibility should provide a defence of the categories’ actual (let alone necessary) applicability is surprising. We argue that it can be understood by attending to the source of the scepticism that the Critique’s Analytic (...)

- Hume on the Self and Personal Identity ed. by Dan O'Brien (review).Bridger Ehli - 2024 - Hume Studies 49 (2):377-380.This is an engaging collection of essays on a central topic in Hume’s philosophy. Perhaps Hume’s best-known contribution to the philosophy of the self is his denial, in section 1.4.6 of the Treatise, “Of personal identity,” of the existence of a simple, enduring self that is accessible by reflection. But as his distinction between personal identity “as it regards our thought or imagination” and personal identity “as it regards our passions or the concern we take for ourselves” suggests, he has (...)
- The poverty of postmodernist constructivism: And a case for naturalism out of Hume, Darwin, and Wittgenstein.Ariel Peckel - 2024 - Metaphilosophy 55 (4-5):547-565.This essay develops a naturalist framework based on Hume, Darwin, and Wittgenstein against postmodernist constructivism. That framework claims universal features of human biology, cognition, and behavior to explain our cultural histories, running contrary to two core constructivist doctrines of postmodernist scholarship: mutual opacity and epistemic violence. Mutual opacity posits the incommensurability of systems rooted in differing contexts, cultures, and group identities, while epistemic violence morally impugns the extension of the knowledge claims of any such system beyond its strictly localized boundaries.

- Hume Entre o Ceticismo e o Naturalismo.Donizeti Aparecido Pugin Souza - 2013 - Kínesis - Revista de Estudos Dos Pós-Graduandos Em Filosofia 5 (9):62-77.Na corrente empirista, David Hume apresenta o caráter cognoscitivo do homem como essencial à compreensão de sua natureza. Distinguindo as percepções em Impressões e Ideias, inicia um complexo sistema epistêmico que culminará nos princípios associativos da mente humana. Um desses princípios, a causalidade, é a responsável pela formação de crenças no homem, devido à influência estabelecida pelo hábito ou costume. Nessa perspectiva, nossas crenças relacionadas à relação de causalidade entre dois objetos não passam de associações mentais, não possíveis de certeza (...)

- Hume’s dictum as a guide to ontology.Adam Caulton - unknownIn this paper I aim to defend one version at least of Hume’s dictum: roughly, the idea that possibility is determined by ontology through something like independent variation. My defence is broadly pragmatic, in the sense that adherence to something like Hume’s dictum delivers at least three benefits. The first benefit is that, through Hume’s dictum, a physical theory’s ontology delimits a range of possibilities, that I call kinematical possibilities, which serves as a sufficiently permissive notion of possibility to sustain (...)

Firstly, it is argued that Hume does not offer any explicit argument in favor of the thesis that the mind cannot be mistaken about a mental state of which it is conscious, and some possible interpretations that could offer this argument are questioned. Secondly, it is argued that Hume is committed to the thesis that the mind is conscious of all its mental phenomena as (...)
- In Hume’s Theory, the Constructed Subject and the Problem of Subjectivation. 박대윤 - 2024 - Journal of Korean Philosophical Society 171:167-191.흄에게 있어서 주체와 주체화의 문제는 자신이 주장하려고 하는 것보다 더 큰 의미를 가진다. 우리는 흄이 주장하는 주체성에서 근대를 넘어서는 사유, 현대적 주체성에 대한 관점의 선취를 본다. 그것은 주체가 주어진 것 안에서 구성된다는 것, 이 수동성이야말로 주체를 이해하는 중요한 요소이다. 우리는 마르크스나 정신분석학이 소화된 푸코나 들뢰즈와 같은 철학, 즉 현대적 주체성을 그려 보여주는 철학의 시원적 지점으로서 흄의 철학을 참고할 필요가 있다. 따라서 이 글은 흄의 주체화의 문제를 수동성의 맥락 안에서 다룬다. 이러한 흄의 주체성은 근대적 특성을 닮고 있으면서도 근대성을 넘어서는 사유의 지평을 (...)

In addition to this, attention is paid to some of Hume's rationalist predeces sors - most notably, Samuel Clarke and William Wollaston - in order to assess Hume's critique of the rationalists.

I argue that Hume does not reject the core commitments of the modern philosophy. His aim in T 1.4.4 is not to undermine any (...)Remove from this listExport citation Bookmark

The paper concludes with some remarks on the normative side of naturalized epistemology to show that situating these thinkers together may illuminate one of the more controversial aspects of Hume’s philosophy to do with naturalism and skepticism.Remove from this listExport citation Bookmark
- Humean Skepticism and Entitlement.Santiago Echeverri - 2024 - In Scott Stapleford & Verena Wagner, Hume and contemporary epistemology. New York, NY: Routledge. pp. 183-205.Many philosophers have found in Hume’s skeptical doubts concerning the operations of the understanding the materials for an argument that generalizes from induction to other domains, like our beliefs in the external world, other minds, and the past. This chapter offers a novel reconstruction of that argument and identifies the principles that are responsible for its capacity to generalize beyond induction. Next, it presents a classical reading of Hume’s skeptical solution and shows that Crispin Wright’s entitlement theory is close in (...)
- (1 other version)Hume on causation: against the quasi-realist interpretation.Alexander Miller & Saba Ghoroori - forthcoming - Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy.In recent years, a number of philosophers have promoted a quasi-realist (or projectivist) interpretation of Hume's theory of causation. In this paper, we argue against the quasi-realist interpretation of Hume, on the grounds that there is a direct clash between a fundamental element of Hume's system (his empiricist theory of content) and one of the main constraints that governs any form of quasi-realism (and so a fortiori, quasi-realism about causation).
- The Oxford Handbook of David Hume.Paul Russell (ed.) - 2016 - Oxford: Oxford University Press.The Scottish philosopher David Hume (1711-1776) is widely regarded as the greatest and most significant English-speaking philosopher and often seen as having had the most influence on the way philosophy is practiced today in the West. His reputation is based not only on the quality of his philosophical thought but also on the breadth and scope of his writings, which ranged over metaphysics, epistemology, morals, politics, religion, and aesthetics.

- Empirisme transcendantal et subjectivité: la notion de sujet dans les monographies de Deleuze sur Hume, Kant, Nietzsche et Bergson.Julie van der Wielen - 2023 - Paris: Hermann.L'empirisme transcendantal élaboré par Gilles Deleuze n'est pas le fruit du hasard : il résulte de lectures critiques et d'un véritable remaniement de concepts, notamment dans ses monographies des années cinquante et soixante. Or on lit généralement les œuvres de maturité de Deleuze sans trop s'attarder sur ces premiers écrits. De même, la question de la subjectivité dans son œuvre est souvent laissée au second plan, et l'on constate dans la littérature secondaire des opinions diamétralement opposées quant au statut du (...)

Dans cette perspective, le scepticisme n'était pas pour lui incompatible avec le rationalisme, si l'on entend le premier comme raison critique exigeante et le second comme recherche qui fait éclater tout dogmatisme. C'est la notion et la méthode d'hypothèse qui gagnent du terrain, en fondant la tolérance et annonçant la polémique (...)

- British Empiricism.Peter West & Manuel Fasko - 2024 - Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.‘British Empiricism’ is a name traditionally used to pick out a group of eighteenth-century thinkers who prioritised knowledge via the senses over reason or the intellect and who denied the existence of innate ideas. The name includes most notably John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume. The counterpart to British Empiricism is traditionally considered to be Continental Rationalism that was advocated by Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz, all of whom lived in Continental Europe beyond the British Isles and all embraced innate (...)
- Kantian Circularity: Maimon on Causal Scepticism and the Status of the Hypothetical Judgement.Emily Fitton - 2023 - Kantian Review 28 (4):597-613.A key theme throughout Maimon’s works is a circularity he diagnoses at the heart of Kant’s response to Hume. The objective validity of Kant’s category of causality ultimately rests, Maimon argues, upon the logical status of the hypothetical judgement – on its inclusion among the forms of pure general logic. In turn, however, the inclusion of the hypothetical within pure general logic itself rests upon the objective validity of causal judgements. This article examines Maimon’s diagnosis and traces it back to (...)

Although the mechanism of sympathy supposes that self is the liveliest perception of thought, when we consider sympathy through the perspective of the ‘desire of company’, we find that self lacks vivacity and, without alterity, it would be in reality nothing. Our objective is to present the conflict and show that, far (...)
