In every proposition presented for your assent, inquire whether the words accurately represent the thoughts--whether your ideas on the subject are distinct--whether there is any biassing motive latent in your mind. Thoroughly examine the evidence--then decide. 2nd.--If, after having used every precaution mentioned in the former rule, you find your ideas obscure, or the evidence deceptive, suspend your Judgment until these shall have been obviated. 3rd.--Never expect a greater degree, nor a different kind, of evidence, than that which the proposition admits, or the circumstances demand. 4th.--We ought not to deny what is evident because we cannot comprehend what is obscure. 5th.--Whatever we clearly and distinctly perceive, as contained in our idea of any objectivity--if due precautions have been employed in forming our ideas--may be, potentially, affirmed of that objectivity. CHAPTER X. RATIOCINATION. "Every man is born to search for Truth, and to make free his nature from confusion and doubt."--Mendelssohn. "The writer professes no more than to lay down, candidly and freely, his own conjectures concerning a subject lying somewhat in the dark, without any other design than an unbiassed inquiry after Truth."--Locke. "The laws of our rational faculty, like those of every other natural agency, are only learned by seeing the agent at work."--Mill. Logic depends, for its first principles, upon an investigation of the laws of thought, and hence a knowledge of " Mental Philosophy," in so far as it informs us of these laws, is substratory to an accurate and wellfounded science of Ratiocination. As Mr. Hallam justly remarks, "every logical method is built upon the common faculties of human nature, which have been...
Download or read book Hume s Reason written by David Owen and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999-12-02 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Owen explores Hume's account of reason and its role in human understanding, seen in the context of other notable accounts by philosophers of the early modern period. Many of the most famous problems that Hume discusses, and many of the positions that he advocates, are expressed in terms of reason. It is central to his arguments about induction, belief, scepticism, the passions, and moral distinctions; to understand Hume's influential views on these matters, we must understand what his view of reason is. The book begins with chapters on the theories of reasoning put forward by Hume's notable predecessors Descartes and Locke. Owen shows that Hume followed them in rejecting a formal, deductive account of inference, in favour of a new naturalistic account. But he went farther, in what we now call the argument concerning induction, by showing that no account of reason as a separate faculty could explain our inferences to beliefs in the unobserved. Hume offers instead an associationist account of probable reasoning and a new theory of belief. The picture of reason as an independent faculty is replaced with an explanation of reasoning in terms of properties of the imagination. Hume's Reason offers a new interpretation of some of Hume's central ideas, and a treatment of reason which will be illuminating not just to historians of modern philosophy but to all philosophers who are concerned with the workings of human cognition.

Book excerpt: A Treatise of Human Nature - Being an Attempt to introduce the experimental Method of Reasoning into Moral Subjects - David Hume - Nothing is more usual and more natural for those, who pretend to discover anything new to the world in philosophy and the sciences, than to insinuate the praises of their own systems, by decrying all those, which have been advanced before them. And indeed were they content with lamenting that ignorance, which we still lie under in the most important questions, that can come before the tribunal of human reason, there are few, who have an acquaintance with the sciences, that would not readily agree with them. It is easy for one of judgement and learning, to perceive the weak foundation even of those systems, which have obtained the greatest credit, and have carried their pretensions highest to accurate and profound reasoning. Principles taken upon trust, consequences lamely deduced from them, want of coherence in the parts, and of evidence in the whole, these are every where to be met with in the systems of the most eminent philosophers, and seem to have drawn disgrace upon philosophy itself. Nor is there required such profound knowledge to discover the present imperfect condition of the sciences, but even the rabble without doors may, judge from the noise and clamour, which they hear, that all goes not well within. There is nothing which is not the subject of debate, and in which men of learning are not of contrary opinions. The most trivial question escapes not our controversy, and in the most momentous we are not able to give any certain decision. Disputes are multiplied, as if every thing was uncertain; and these disputes are managed with the greatest warmth, as if every thing was certain. Amidst all this bustle it is not reason, which carries the prize, but eloquence; and no man needs ever despair of gaining proselytes to the most extravagant hypothesis, who has art enough to represent it in any favourable colours. The victory is not gained by the men at arms, who manage the pike and the sword; but by the trumpeters, drummers, and musicians of the army. From hence in my opinion arises that common prejudice against metaphysical reasonings of all kinds, even amongst those, who profess themselves scholars, and have a just value for every other part of literature. By metaphysical reasonings, they do not understand those on any particular branch of science, but every kind of argument, which is any way abstruse, and requires some attention to be comprehended. We have so often lost our labour in such researches, that we commonly reject them without hesitation, and resolve, if we must for ever be a prey to errors and delusions, that they shall at least be natural and entertaining. And indeed nothing but the most determined scepticism, along with a great degree of indolence, can justify this aversion to metaphysics. For if truth be at all within the reach of human capacity, it is certain it must lie very deep and abstruse: and to hope we shall arrive at it without pains, while the greatest geniuses have failed with the utmost pains, must certainly be esteemed sufficiently vain and presumptuous. I pretend to no such advantage in the philosophy I am going to unfold, and would esteem it a strong presumption against it, were it so very easy and obvious.
