David Hume, Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding - Animals, Instinct, And Experience

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern empiricist philosopher David Hume' Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding It focuses specifically on his views on whether non-human animals engage in reasoning or not. He argues that most human beings are not engaged in explicit reasoning most of the time, including philosophers, and that non-human animals are guided by experience and custom like human beings, but rely more upon instinct than do human beings To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 2000 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Hume's Enquiry - amzn.to/3by4R6n
