All you have to do to get lots of praise from the current crop in philosophy is be a religious sceptic. That simple.

Not sure why he's so hot right now. His scepticism didn't cause him to be a liberal, but rather he became more conservative in his politics because he did not trust rational and idealistic arguments with-respect-to reform.

nigga influenced Kant and Eintstein.

'Kant credited Hume with waking him from his “dogmatic slumber”, and he describes the Critique of Pure Reason, arguably the most important work of modern philosophy, as the solution to the “Humean problem in its greatest possible amplification”'

"You have correctly seen that this line of thought was of great influence on my efforts and indeed Ernst Mach and still much more Hume, whose treatise on understanding I studied with eagerness and admiration shortly before finding relativity theory"

Dark Einstein-T.

-Kant made Humeer an "argument album" as a modern philosophy, the "problem of human legitimacy more practical"
