David Hume (1711-1776) represented the culmination of the British philosophy of
sense-experience.
Although he lived in the age of reason, Hume had profound doubts
about our ability to know anything in the world with certainty. This skepticism colored his view of science and
gave rise to his devastating attack on proofs of the existence of God.
Hume believed that values are neither objective nor universal, but
nevertheless was optimistic about human nature and our ability to achieve decency in our actions.
The Giants of Philosophy is a series of dramatic presentations, in
understandable language, of the concerns, questions, interests, and overall world view of history's greatest
philosophers. Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward
living a better life.

"The most
beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the
source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion
is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt
in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
-- Albert
Einstein
"Seek and 'ye shall find,
knock and the door will be opened, ask and it shall be given
unto thee."
--A
Biblical Passage
"The true understanding of
both the Creator and the creation is considered to be the
transcendental or metaphysical knowledge."
--
Bhagavad Gita
