Academic Skepticism in Hume and Kant: A Ciceronian Critique of Metaphysics. Cham: Springer, 2022. Pp. 268. Hardcover. ISBN: 978-3-030-89749-9. £99.99. This book is a valuable contribution to the rapidly expanding field of research into the formative impact of ancient skepticism on early modern philosophy. This new paradigm was introduced several decades ago, as González Quintero acknowledges, by the pioneering work of Richard Popkin; and while Popkin emphasized the constitutive role of Pyrrhonism in this process, recent philosophical debates have been characterized by a more measured approach, carefully differentiating between the Academics and the Pyrrhonists, and their respective influence on modern skeptics. Gonzáles Quintero opts for the Academic interpretation of Hume’s skepticism, applying it to both his Treatise and the first Enquiry, and extending it to both of Kant’s Critiques—an area much less explored in the context of ancient skepticism. She thus heads into a complex philosophical landscape. The reader may be somewhat puzzled by the book’s subtitle, one which seems to add yet another theme to its already broad structure. However, as Gonzáles Quintero explains in the Introduction, she wants to take the discussions of Academic skepticism beyond the field of empirical science and concentrate on the attitude of the skeptics towards metaphysics; her aim is to show how Cicero, Hume, and Kant “used skeptical means to examine the justification of metaphysical claims and to determine, in this way, which resulting beliefs could be held non-dogmatically and for practical purposes” (1). Perhaps then, the book may be more accurately titled Academic Skepticism and Metaphysics: Cicero, Hume and Kant. Though this may seem a reduction in the scope of the topics, in this particular case it is an expansion, since the author reconstructs how the attitude of the skeptics to metaphysics unfolds from their general epistemological skepticism concerning the limits of reason. She divides the book into three main parts (Cicero, Hume, and Kant), with the first chapter of each part describing the skeptical method of that particular philosopher or school, and the second examining its application to metaphysical matters. This is a huge undertaking for one book, requiring the author to navigate a vast field of philosophical material, including a significant amount of primary and secondary literature, while turning it all back toward the main question concerning the role played by Academic (Carneadean) skepticism in the ancient, Humean, and Kantian treatments of religion and other metaphysical issues. The danger of topic-overload arises and a selective approach is crucial to avoid “dropping the ball.” Gonzáles Quintero tackles this task with varying success.

评:休谟和康德的学术怀疑主义:卡塔琳娜·塞塞罗式的形而上学批判González金特罗祖扎娜·帕鲁斯尼科夫卡塔琳娜González金特罗。休谟和康德的学术怀疑主义:西塞罗式的形而上学批判。2020年,2022年。268页。精装书。ISBN: 978-3-030-89749-9。£99.99。这本书是一个宝贵的贡献,研究领域迅速扩大到古代怀疑主义对早期现代哲学的形成性影响。正如González金特罗承认的那样,这种新范式是在几十年前由理查德·波普金(Richard Popkin)的开创性工作引入的;虽然波普金强调皮洛斯主义在这一过程中的构成作用,但最近的哲学辩论以一种更慎重的方式为特征,仔细区分了学者和皮洛斯主义者,以及他们各自对现代怀疑论者的影响。Gonzáles金特罗选择了休谟怀疑论的学术解释,将其应用于他的《人学论》和《第一探究》,并将其扩展到康德的《批判》——这是一个在古代怀疑主义背景下很少探索的领域。因此,她进入了一个复杂的哲学景观。读者可能会对这本书的副标题感到有些困惑,副标题似乎是在其已经广泛的结构上又增加了一个主题。然而,正如Gonzáles金特罗在引言中所解释的那样,她想把对学术怀疑主义的讨论带出经验科学的领域,集中在怀疑论者对形而上学的态度上;她的目的是展示西塞罗、休谟和康德如何“使用怀疑的手段来检验形而上学主张的正当性,并以这种方式确定,由此产生的信念可以非教条地持有,并用于实际目的”(1)。也许,这本书的标题可能更准确:学术怀疑主义和形而上学:西塞罗、休谟和康德。虽然这似乎是主题范围的缩小,但在这种特殊情况下,它是一种扩展,因为作者重建了怀疑论者对形而上学的态度如何从他们关于理性极限的一般认识论怀疑主义中展开。她把这本书分成三个主要部分(西塞罗、休谟和康德),每个部分的第一章描述了特定哲学家或学派的怀疑方法,第二章研究了其在形而上学问题上的应用。对于一本书来说,这是一个巨大的任务,要求作者浏览广阔的哲学材料领域,包括大量的原始和次要文献,同时将其全部转向主要问题,即学术(卡尼阿德)怀疑主义在古代,休谟和康德对宗教和其他形而上学问题的处理中所起的作用。主题过载的危险出现了,有选择的方法对于避免“丢球”至关重要。Gonzáles金特罗处理这个任务取得了不同程度的成功。本书第一部分的第一章全面分析了学术怀疑主义及其与皮浪主义和斯多葛主义的区别。凭借对古代怀疑论学术辩论的广泛了解,作者讨论了激进的皮罗尼主义和第二学院的阿西塞劳斯之间关系的各种细微差别,可以预见的是,第三学院的卡尼阿德斯,他提出了一个基于评估印象说服力程度的温和版本的怀疑主义。这样的印象应该得到非教条主义的认可,从而可以缩小时代变革的范围;它们激励我们追求真理,同时承认我们的错误;他们在实际问题上指导我们。她认为赞同有说服力的信念包含理性(规范)方面的观点或许值得进一步讨论;对于古代的怀疑论者来说,说服力的标准是主观的、不稳定的,反映了我们对表象的短暂感受。在形而上学一章中,笔者比较了西塞罗在《自然论》和《图斯库兰论辩》中的怀疑论方法。在前者中,西塞罗(通过科塔的角色)放弃了怀疑的原则(这将阻止我们定义神的本质),因为宗教仪式的实际用途得到了斯多葛派的认可;对于伊壁鸠鲁派(维列略)来说,诸神(或宇宙之神)完全不关心我们的世界,而对于斯多葛派(巴尔布斯)来说,他们关心的是人类的事务——因此后者的立场支持了西塞罗……

Hume’s Passion-Based Account of Moral Responsibility 休谟基于激情的道德责任解释

Abstract: Many scholars have claimed that the psychology of the indirect passions in the Treatise is meant to capture how we come to regard persons as morally responsible agents. My question is exactly how the indirect passions relate to responsibility. In elucidating Hume’s account of responsibility, scholars have often focused not on the passionate responses themselves, but on their structural features. In this paper, I argue that locating responsibility in the structural features is insufficient to make sense of Hume’s account of responsibility. I argue this on the grounds that without reference to the passions, Hume does not have the resources to distinguish between responsible and non-responsible entities. Instead, I attribute to Hume a distinctive, sympathy-based response-dependent conception of responsibility.
摘要:许多学者认为,《人性论》中的间接激情心理学旨在捕捉我们如何将人视为道德上负责任的行为人。我的问题是间接的激情是如何与责任联系起来的。在阐释休谟对责任的解释时,学者们通常关注的不是激情反应本身,而是它们的结构特征。在本文中,笔者认为将责任定位于结构特征是不足以理解休谟关于责任的论述的。我的理由是,如果不涉及激情,休谟就无法区分负责任和不负责任的实体。相反,我认为休谟有一种独特的、以同情为基础的、反应依赖的责任概念。

Hume, Substance, and Causation: A Solution to a Nasty Problem 休谟:《物质与因果:一个棘手问题的解决方案》

Abstract: Louis Loeb has identified a “nasty problem” in connection with Hume’s theory of meaning. The problem is that Hume seemingly claims we lack ideas corresponding to key metaphysical terms, such as terms like “substance” and “necessary connection,” but he then proceeds to explain why philosophers believe in the existence of entities denoted by such terms. In short, Hume seems motivated to explain belief in the existence of certain entities, despite his claiming we have no ideas corresponding to them. In this paper, I strive to solve the problem by noting the important role of clear and distinct perception in his thought. In particular, I argue Hume only wishes to deny that we have clear and distinct ideas of substance and necessary connection, and not that we altogether lack any idea of substance and necessary connection, traditionally conceived.
摘要:路易斯·勒布在休谟的意义理论中发现了一个“棘手的问题”。问题是,休谟似乎声称我们缺乏与关键的形而上学术语相对应的概念,比如“实体”和“必要联系”,但他接着解释了为什么哲学家相信这些术语所表示的实体的存在。简而言之,休谟似乎有动机去解释某些实体存在的信念,尽管他声称我们没有与它们相对应的观念。在本文中,我试图通过指出清晰和清晰的感知在他的思想中的重要作用来解决这个问题。特别是,我认为休谟只是想否认我们有关于实体和必然联系的清晰而明确的观念,而不是说我们完全缺乏传统观念中关于实体和必然联系的任何观念。

Reading David Hume’s “Of the Standard of Taste.” ed. by Babette Babich (review) 读大卫·休谟的《品味的标准》。巴贝特·巴比奇主编(书评)

VII + 333. ISBN: 978-3-11-058564-3, paper, $24.99. Reading David Hume’s “Of the Standard of Taste,” a volume of essays edited by Babette Babich, purports to offer the reader a “collective stud[y]” of Hume’s famous essay and its related concerns. Almost all the contributions have previously been published, either as journal articles or book chapters. “Of the Standard of Taste” is helpfully included at the beginning of the volume, though Hume Studies readers will already be familiar with the text. The book is divided into five parts. The editor’s introduction comprises part I. Hume’s essay makes up the entirety of part II. Parts III–V are organized around different general themes, with each part containing from three to five essays. In total the book contains twelve essays. Hume’s “Of the Standard of Taste” is a “classic” work in aesthetics today, but what entitles it to this appellation? Indeed, why do we judge any work to be of “classical value?” “Taste” plays a central role in evaluations of this sort, particularly the “taste” of modern scholars. But, as Hume knew, the historical sensibilities of judges are liable to change over the years, and so “some things that appear in their day to be sure classics, things that have until then withstood the test of time, can undergo a shift in value for another era” (13). In her Introduction, Babich tells an engaging, if not always easy to follow, story about Hume’s “deathbed readings” to illustrate the point. From final conversations with Adam Smith, we know that Hume was reading Lucian’s Dialogues of the Dead. But which of Lucian’s several such dialogues was he reading? When the question was put to Annette Baier (who was at that time herself writing about Hume and “last things”), she confessed to being puzzled by the very [End Page 341] question (6). Baier’s initial puzzlement and subsequent investigations to resolve this confusion revealed just how much her own sensibilities diverged from those of Hume’s day. Babich observes: “[T]he Lucian who was popular in Hume’s own day and even through to the beginning of the twentieth century, has today so diminished in “classical” value that he is sufficiently esoteric that Hume scholars like Baier have trouble tracking him down” (13). My own initial confusions reading the Introduction are likely attributable, in part, to the fact that I, too, was unfamiliar with Lucian. Ironically, this fact is, itself, further evidence of Babich’s point: yesterday’s literary gems have dimmed in value today because modern scholars are not conversant with their works. I have already ordered my copy of Lucian. The book’s rationale is explained as follows: “The entire concern of this volume is all about the critical basis for such claims [which works have “classical” value]. How can we determ
书评人:阅读大卫·休谟的《品味标准》。巴贝特·巴比奇编辑,阅读大卫·休谟的《品味的标准》。柏林:deGruyter, 2020。第VII + 333页。ISBN: 978-3-11-058564-3,纸质版,24.99美元。阅读大卫·休谟的《品味标准》,一本由巴贝特·巴比奇编辑的文集,旨在为读者提供休谟的著名文章及其相关问题的“集体研究”。几乎所有的贡献都曾以期刊文章或书籍章节的形式发表过。《品味的标准》被很有帮助地收录在这本书的开头,尽管休谟研究的读者应该已经熟悉了这篇文章。这本书分为五个部分。编辑导言由第一部分组成。休谟的文章构成第二部分的全部。第三至第五部分围绕不同的一般主题组织,每个部分包含三到五篇文章。这本书总共有十二篇散文。休谟的《品味标准》在今天的美学中是一部“经典”作品,但它有什么资格获得这个称号呢?事实上,我们为什么要评判任何作品具有“古典价值”?“品味”在这类评价中起着核心作用,尤其是现代学者的“品味”。但是,正如休谟所知,法官的历史敏感性随着时间的推移而变化,因此“一些在他们那个时代被认为是绝对经典的东西,那些直到那时才经受住时间考验的东西,可能会在另一个时代经历价值的转变”(13)。在她的导言中,巴比奇讲述了一个关于休谟“临终读物”的引人入胜的故事,如果不总是容易理解的话,来说明这一点。从与亚当·斯密的最后对话中,我们知道休谟正在阅读卢西安的《亡灵对话录》。但他读的是卢西恩的哪一段对话呢?当安妮特·拜尔(Annette Baier)被问到这个问题时(她当时正在写关于休谟和“最后的事情”的文章),她承认自己对这个问题感到困惑(6)。拜尔最初的困惑和随后为解决这个困惑而进行的调查表明,她自己的情感与休谟那个时代的人有多大的不同。巴比奇观察到:“卢西恩在休谟的时代,甚至一直到20世纪初都很受欢迎,今天他的“古典”价值已经如此之低,以至于像拜尔这样的休谟学者很难找到他”(13)。我自己最初读《导论》时的困惑,在某种程度上可能是由于我也不熟悉卢西恩。具有讽刺意味的是,这一事实本身就进一步证明了巴比奇的观点:昨天的文学瑰宝在今天已经失去了价值,因为现代学者不熟悉他们的作品。我已经订了我的《卢西安》这本书的基本原理解释如下:“这本书的全部关注点都是关于这些主张的关键基础[哪些作品具有“经典”价值]。我们如何确定一个标准来评估未来可能的经典,无论是在文学领域还是在品味发挥作用的其他领域?然而,休谟的《品味标准》所涉及的利害关系远不止预测“文学的未来”。关于品味标准的问题对提高在更广泛领域的判断有重要影响:更广泛的艺术(绘画、建筑、雕塑等),但也许也包括科学,甚至经济,仅举几例。在这里收集的文章中,只有一篇文章本身涉及“古典价值”和“文学未来”的主题:编辑自己的文章。读者可以从各种各样的贡献中找出他们所能找到的东西。但只要每篇文章都试图阐明一个重要的相关问题,例如,品味的本质,标准的本质,对品味的影响,等等,这些文章都可以推进讨论。接下来,我将简要介绍第三至第五部分的一些文章,以便读者对本书有一个整体的了解。第三部分……

Reply to My Critics: Experience Embodied: Early Modern Accounts of the Human Place in Nature 《体验的体现:人类在自然中的地位的早期现代描述》

Anik Waldow
Reply to My CriticsExperience Embodied: Early Modern Accounts of the Human Place in Nature Anik Waldow (bio) I would like to thank Dario Perinetti and Hynek Janoušek for their thoughtful comments and the time and effort they invested into my work. Their reflections drive attention to important questions and make helpful suggestions about how some of the arguments of the book can be further developed and clarified. In what follows, I will first discuss the proposal to distinguish between a narrow and a broad sense of experience, then specify how I understand the connection between having a body and being able to engage in experiences. In this context, I will also discuss Janoušek’s suggestion to draw further distinctions between the different senses in which the concept of body relates to experience in Descartes and Hume. In the last section, I address the question of whether the focus on bodies risks undermining the claim that experience is intersubjectively constituted. 1. Narrow versus Broad Concept of Experience Dario Perinetti raises the worry that during the early modern period, and even before, the concept of experience was mainly used to discuss epistemological questions, and that therefore the Broad Experience Thesis fails. According to this thesis, it is reductive to think of experience in exclusively epistemological terms, since this ignores that many early modern writers approached questions about the benefits and dangers of experience from a wider moral perspective. This perspective, as I argue in [End Page 329] Experience Embodied, was concerned with the training of the mind’s intellectual and moral capacities, the role of pleasure and pain (and other affects) in epistemic and moral judgement, and, more generally, the question of how it is possible to be self-determined agents who do more than simply respond to the experiences they have. To support his claim, Perinetti cites the Historische Wörterbuch der Philosophie, Cauvin’s Lexicon Rationale sive Thesaurus Philosophicus, but also Aristotle, Bacon, and Hobbes. The approach I pursue in my book is based on the usage of the concept of experience by the authors examined (Descartes, Locke, Hume, Rousseau, Herder, Kant). I will turn to the analysis of this usage in a moment, but before this let me say a few words about dictionaries. It is in principle not surprising that a dictionary like the Historische Wörterbuch der Philosophie—and its discussion of Aristotle, Bacon, and Hobbes—supports the traditional approach to experience as a centrally epistemological concept. Its entry on “experience” revolves around the idea that philosophers are either empiricists or rationalists.1 Yet it is precisely the establishment of this distinction that has substantially contributed to promoting a reductive concept of experience.

我要感谢达里奥·佩里内蒂(Dario Perinetti)和海内克Janoušek,感谢他们对我的工作所作的深思熟虑的评论,以及他们为我的工作所投入的时间和精力。他们的反思推动了对重要问题的关注,并就本书的一些论点如何进一步发展和澄清提出了有益的建议。在接下来的内容中,我将首先讨论区分狭义和广义经验的建议,然后详细说明我如何理解拥有身体和能够参与经验之间的联系。在这种情况下,我还将讨论Janoušek的建议,即在笛卡尔和休谟的身体概念与经验相关的不同感官之间进一步区分。在最后一节中,我提出了一个问题,即对身体的关注是否会破坏经验是主体间构成的说法。1. Dario Perinetti提出了一种担忧,即在早期的现代时期,甚至更早,经验的概念主要用于讨论认识论问题,因此,广义经验的论点是失败的。根据这篇论文,仅仅从认识论的角度来思考经验是简化的,因为这忽略了许多早期现代作家从更广泛的道德角度来处理有关经验的好处和危险的问题。这个观点,正如我在[End Page 329] Experience Embodied中所说的,关注的是对心智智力和道德能力的训练,快乐和痛苦(以及其他情感)在认知和道德判断中的作用,以及更一般地说,如何可能成为自我决定的主体,而不仅仅是对他们所拥有的经验做出反应。为了支持他的观点,Perinetti引用了Historische Wörterbuch der Philosophie, Cauvin 's Lexicon Rationale Thesaurus Philosophicus,以及亚里士多德,培根和霍布斯。我在书中所采用的方法是基于所研究的作者(笛卡尔、洛克、休谟、卢梭、赫尔德、康德)对经验概念的使用。稍后我将分析这个用法,但在此之前,让我先谈谈字典。原则上,像Historische Wörterbuch der philosophy这样的词典——以及它对亚里士多德、培根和霍布斯的讨论——支持将经验作为中心认识论概念的传统方法,这并不奇怪。它关于“经验”的条目围绕着哲学家要么是经验主义者,要么是理性主义者的观点展开然而,正是这种区分的建立,极大地促进了经验的简化概念。毕竟,理性主义和经验主义是用来描述相互竞争的认识论立场的典型标签同样值得注意的是,该词典的词条来自20世纪70年代。正因为如此,它与哲学史的一幅图景相结合,这幅图景长期以来受到研究的挑战,这些研究表明,早期现代哲学远不止一些精选的权威人物的标准著作例如,当涉及洛克时,条目专门关注于《论人类理解》,甚至没有提到经验是《关于教育的一些思考》中的一个关键概念。肖文的《哲学词典》(1692)中关于经验的相当简短而笼统的条目也不太能说明问题——至少如果把它与同时期的其他词典和百科全书(如达朗贝尔和狄德罗的《百科全书》)分开来看是不太能说明问题的。《百科全书》是一部极具影响力的作品,根据其编辑的说法,它本身就是培根方法的一部分在这里,csamar Chesneau Du Marsais关于经验的条目直接强调了通过经验获得的知识的道德维度:经验,一个抽象的术语,通常意味着通过长期生活获得的知识,结合对所见之事的反思,以及对发生在我们身上的好事和坏事的反思。从这个意义上说,阅读历史是一种非常有益的获取经验的方式;它告诉我们事件,并向我们展示这些事件的好或坏的影响和后果…

Their reflections drive attention to important questions and make helpful suggestions about how some of the arguments of the book can be further developed and clarified. In what follows, I will first discuss the proposal to distinguish between a narrow and a broad sense of experience, then specify how I understand the connection between having a body and being able to engage in experiences. In this context, I will also discuss Janoušek’s suggestion to draw further distinctions between the different senses in which the concept of body relates to experience in Descartes and Hume. In the last section, I address the question of whether the focus on bodies risks undermining the claim that experience is intersubjectively constituted. 1. Narrow versus Broad Concept of Experience Dario Perinetti raises the worry that during the early modern period, and even before, the concept of experience was mainly used to discuss epistemological questions, and that therefore the Broad Experience Thesis fails. According to this thesis, it is reductive to think of experience in exclusively epistemological terms, since this ignores that many early modern writers approached questions about the benefits and dangers of experience from a wider moral perspective. This perspective, as I argue in [End Page 329] Experience Embodied, was concerned with the training of the mind’s intellectual and moral capacities, the role of pleasure and pain (and other affects) in epistemic and moral judgement, and, more generally, the question of how it is possible to be self-determined agents who do more than simply respond to the experiences they have. To support his claim, Perinetti cites the Historische Wörterbuch der Philosophie, Cauvin’s Lexicon Rationale sive Thesaurus Philosophicus, but also Aristotle, Bacon, and Hobbes. The approach I pursue in my book is based on the usage of the concept of experience by the authors examined (Descartes, Locke, Hume, Rousseau, Herder, Kant). I will turn to the analysis of this usage in a moment, but before this let me say a few words about dictionaries. It is in principle not surprising that a dictionary like the Historische Wörterbuch der Philosophie—and its discussion of Aristotle, Bacon, and Hobbes—supports the traditional approach to experience as a centrally epistemological concept. Its entry on “experience” revolves around the idea that philosophers are either empiricists or rationalists.1 Yet it is precisely the establishment of this distinction that has substantially contributed to promoting a reductive concept of experience. After all, rationalism and empiricism are labels typically used to describe competing epistemological positions.2 It is also worth noting that the dictionary’s entry is from the","PeriodicalId":29761,"journal":{"name":"Hume Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135161779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Is Hume a Methodological Empiricist? 休谟是方法论经验主义者吗?
4区 哲学 Pub Date : 2023-04-01 DOI: 10.1353/hms.2023.0000
Ruth Weintraub
Abstract:The question broached in the title may sound odd. It makes sense to ask whether Hume’s empiricism is successful, and whether it is the best way of rendering rigorous the (vague) empiricist view. But is it not obvious that Hume is an empiricist? I shall argue that the answer is negative, at least when we are concerned with methodological empiricism, pertaining to the way inquiry, both scientific and philosophical, must proceed. In support of my claim, I will distinguish between the theoretical question, pertaining to the methodological view Hume endorses, and the practical question, concerned with the way he conducts his inquiry. My conclusion will be that the answer to the first question is contentious, and the answer to the second is negative.
摘要:标题中提出的问题听起来可能很奇怪。问休谟的经验主义是否成功,以及它是否是使(模糊的)经验主义观点变得严谨的最佳方式,是有道理的。但是,休谟是一个经验主义者,这难道不是显而易见的吗?我认为答案是否定的,至少当我们关注方法论经验主义时是否定的。方法论经验主义涉及科学和哲学探究的进行方式。为了支持我的主张,我将区分与休谟认可的方法论观点有关的理论问题和与他进行探究的方式有关的实践问题。我的结论是,第一个问题的答案是有争议的,第二个问题的回答是否定的。

Hume and Induction: Merely Cognitive Psychology? 休谟与归纳法:仅仅是认知心理学?
4区 哲学 Pub Date : 2023-04-01 DOI: 10.1353/hms.2023.0011
G. Dicker
Abstract:The purpose of Hume’s argument about induction, contra “literalist” interpretations that see it merely as psychology, is to show that induction cannot be justified. Hume maintains that the only way to justify induction would be to demonstrate or to produce a good inductive argument for the uniformity principle (UP). His most famous point is that any attempt to justify UP inductively would be circular. One may retort that no inductive argument can be circular, for a circular argument must be deductively valid. But there is a sense in which a purely inductive argument for UP is circular: it uses induction for the purpose of justifying induction. Therefore, the literalist interpretation cannot be right. For if the argument can be circular only if its purpose is to justify induction, and Hume has shown that it is circular, then its purpose must be to justify induction, and Hume shows that this cannot be done.
摘要:休谟关于归纳法的论证,与将归纳法仅仅视为心理学的“字面主义”解释相反,其目的是表明归纳法不能被证明是正当的。休谟坚持认为,证明归纳法的唯一方法是为一致性原则(UP)证明或提出一个好的归纳法论证。他最著名的观点是,任何试图用归纳的方式证明UP的做法都是循环的。有人可能会反驳说,归纳论证不可能是循环的,因为循环论证必须是演绎有效的。但是在某种意义上,一个纯归纳法的论证是循环的:它使用归纳法来证明归纳法的正确性。因此,字面解释不可能是正确的。因为如果论证是循环的,只有当它的目的是证明归纳法的合理性,而休谟已经证明了它是循环的,那么它的目的一定是证明归纳法的合理性,而休谟证明了这是不可能的。
