摘要
休谟问题是西方哲学史上的重要部分,它的提出依赖于休谟的知识二分法:关于观念关系的知识和关于事实的知识。休谟问题可以表述为因果关系何以非要如此的疑问,其实质在于否认经验推理作为因果关系之普遍必然性的依据。围绕休谟问题产生的误解,休谟做出了自己的回答,并进一步提出心理解释。这种解释对西方哲学认识论同时产生了建设性和破坏性影响。
Hume's problem is an important part in the history of western philosophy.The producing of this proble relies on Hume's dichotomy of knowledge:knowledge concerning concepts and knowledge involving facts.Hume's problem can be described as a query that why the cause-effect relations should be so.The essence of his problem lies in denying experiential reasoning as a universal and necessary basis for the cause-effect relationship.Hume gives his own answer and makes a further psychological intertation to all the misundertandings around Hume's probem.His interpretation poses a constructive and destructive effect on the epistemology of western philosophy.
