David Hume's analysis of human knowledge

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hume's analysis of human knowledge led him to conclude that we cannot be certain of anything beyond our own perceptions and mental constructions. This skepticism undermined traditional beliefs in things such as God, causation, and substance. Hume argued that we cannot know if there is a necessary connection between cause and effect, and that the idea of causation is merely a habit of the mind based on past associations. He did not argue for the existence of God, and his theories actually threatened traditional arguments for God's existence. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer.
