General Rules and the Justification of Probable Belief in Hume's Treatise
Hume Studies 27 (2):247-278 (2001)
| Abstract |
An examination of the role played by general rules in Hume's positive (nonskeptical) epistemology. General rules for Hume are roughly just general beliefs. The difference between justified and unjustified belief is a matter of the influence of good versus bad general rules, the good general rules being the "extensive" and "constant" ones.
