In this episode of Philosophy Crossroads, we dive into David Hume’s exploration of the Problem of Induction—a philosophical puzzle that questions our reliance on past experiences to predict future events. Through Hume’s insights, we examine the nature of causation, the challenges of inductive reasoning, and the influence of his work on scientific inquiry. We also explore responses from Kant, Russell, Goodman, and modern thinkers who attempt to reconcile Hume’s skepticism with practical approaches. Join us as we navigate this intellectual journey, reflecting on how uncertainty shapes our understanding of knowledge and the world.
