Are you aware he was a distinguished racist and elitist bastard. Fine he was clever but such beasts dont really deserve a hearing! Lots of these pretentious philosphers needs banishing from culture and history!!!!!!!!!
The Nazis gave us autobahns; there are other examples if you wish to play the finger pointing game.
Hume was human, and therefore not perfect.
He lived in a racist age. So did Lincoln. And like Lincoln, he advocated the emancipation of slaves. But history does not remember Hume for his racism, or even his voluminous history books; he is remembered as a ground-breaking empirical philosopher.
Who are you to judge history with the gift of 20/20 hindsight, Mr. Xerxes?
thanks for posting this. I'm just beginning to study Hume and this was a solid introduction:)
