HUME'S “TRUE” SCEPTICISM

Abstract

The paper is an examination of hume's argument for what he calls "true" skepticism, As it appears in sections one and seven of book i, Part iv, Of the "treatise". Although hume's argument is novel, It not only succumbs to an objection that the classical pyrrhonists succeeded in avoiding but reaches a conclusion that cannot legitimately be termed "skepticism" at all.
