Khan Academy: Hume: Skepticism and Induction, Part 1

Curated by ACT

According to the philosopher David Hume (1711-1776), absolutely everything we know falls into one of two categories: either it is a relation of ideas or it is a matter of fact. Daniel Greco walks us through this famous Humean distinction in preparation for examining Hume's even more famous skeptical argument against induction. [4:33]
