Hume

What's /lit/'s verdict on Hume?
Do you liken him to the postmodernist for his challenge to rules in general?
Do you think Kant solved the problems he posed?

>Do you liken him to the postmodernist for his challenge to rules in general?

not really, he doesnt engage in 'Narratives', he engages with truths and systems and shows the logical flaws within them

>Do you think Kant solved the problems he posed?

depends on the problem, i don't think Kant really solved the problem of causality, its not logically consistent to believe that Noumena causes Phenomena, hence Berkeley happened. However, i do believe that Kant solved the problem of induction in cementing it as an epistemic limit, he clearly showed that we cant make positive epistemic claims about Noumena.

/lit/ loves Hume and regularly calls him based. They really hate Anglo empiricists but they give him a pass, sometimes saying it's because he's Scottish. Berkeley also gets a pass because he's Irish.
>Do you liken him to the postmodernist for his challenge to rules in general?
Hume was the first modern philosopher to employ methods of critique to beliefs, instead of just dialectically engaging the belief within the same episteme.
>Do you think Kant solved the problems he posed?
No.

Very insightful.
Nope.
Yes, he conclusively refuted many of his arguments (e.g. the arguments against causality, substantiality, personal identity, the problem of induction, etc)
