i'm currently reading The Treatise and I am getting more and more depressed. Is this supposed to happen? Is this me awakening from my dogmatic slumber?

Yeah Hume pretty much destroys philosophy. Everything after him is cope.

its okay, just read Whitehead afterwards.

Bro thats why you read kant through hegel afterwards. I'm sorry but you brought this upon yourself. You had the choice to be an ignorant normalfag but no, you just had to know didn't you? Now you have to finish what you started and that means getting from hume to hegel. Good fucking luck.

Hume => Hegel = Following through to the end/ solving the mystery
Hume => Catholicism = Settling/coming to terms with getting filtered/accepting mystery

Holy kek. If you want to waste your time spitting hairs and being pedantic by all means do, but analytics completely miss the point of philosophy.

lol let's let guys like kripke and the churchlands know a random 4chan poster thinks the entire analytic branch is useless

For the purposes of getting to the Truth in the sense that God and only God is the Truth, then yes

Gtfo popperite. You miss the point of Hegel with the concept of unfalsifiability.

Yeah, that is what happens when you are against the concept of a soul altogether. Don't worry, Kant shits on him. Just to give you a taste, one of Hume's biggest errors is adopting Locke's view of the blank slate. The blank slate is false though, because were we not to have a preexisting schema for processing info, how could experience be anything? As a thinking agent, I must have an I that does that thinking. Hume's view would only be consistent with a world of automaton. As a result, Hume thinks basically everything is training and coincidence. Read Kant after and you won't be depressed anymore. Confused maybe, but not depressed.

Kant's proposed solution to Hume doesn't elevate reason or understanding beyond the bounds established by Hume. The a priori concepts of the understanding are objective only insofar as they allow for experience. Kant's treatment of morality exempted, his supposed refutation of Hume retreads Hume's same points.
