Alright i am stuck and need help guys...im willing to pay $10 or more if I think its outstanding for someone to answer ONE of the following questions...it has to be 1 page long and if using sources then cited...I already answered 6 of these but I dont know ****** about Hume...pick one and answer:
3. What is the copy principle for Hume and how does it define his
position about the limits of knowledge? Can someone have an idea of
something he or she has not experienced? What is the separability
principle for Hume and how does it result in a kind of epistemological
atomism? In other words, what ultimately is the given for Hume and how
does its character restrict our knowledge?
4. How does the separability principle lead Hume to say that there is
a problem with causal inferences. Is the relation between cause and
effect a relation of ideas (capable of demonstration)? Why or why not?
What principle would Hume need to prove that the relation between
cause and effect is a probable (matter of fact) inference of reason?
Why does this principle does not work in the case of our causal
reasoning? What, ultimately is the source of our belief in causality?
5. What are the assumptions that Hume says that philosophers make
about personal identity? What does Hume say is wrong with these
assumptions? How does he use the separability and copy principle to
support his claims? What is personal identity for Hume? Why do we
ascribe personal identity to ourselves? Do you think there are any
problems with Hume?s conception of personal identity?
----------------------------------------------------------
How are you going to learn if you can not do your own work.
Apparently, you lean on AT much more than you should.
Therefore, please take a week away from here to concentrate on your studies.
