Episode Synopsis

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern empiricist philosopher David Hume' Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

It focuses specifically on his discussion in section 1 of the work, specifically where Hume notes that too many people in his time wish to reject "metaphysics" entirely, leading him to plead the case of metaphysics, providing justifications for why at least some people ought to engage in it
