Hume

David Hume was an 18th-century philosopher who explored how we come to know and understand the world. He argued that our knowledge is limited to our experiences and the ways our minds process them, emphasizing that we cannot be certain about things beyond our immediate perception. Hume was skeptical of evidence for things like miracles and the existence of a divine being, suggesting that beliefs should be grounded in evidence and rational thought. His work encourages us to question assumptions and understand the basis of our beliefs, highlighting the importance of reason and experience in shaping our understanding of reality.
