Whitehead is here questioning David Hume's understanding of the nature of experience ; ;

Ignored by many in " critical realist " circles, however, is that Kant's immediate impetus for writing his " Critique of Pure Reason " was to address problems raised by David Hume's skeptical empiricism which, in attacking metaphysics, employed reason and logic to argue against the knowability of the world and common notions of causation.

David Hume's empiricism led to numerous philosophical schools

In David Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, the character Cleanthes argues that no being could ever be proven to exist through an a priori demonstration:

In David Hume's History of England, he tells something of the powers that the kings had accumulated in the times after the Magna Carta, the prerogatives of the crown and the sources of great power with which these monarchs counted:

Subject as a key-term in thinking about human consciousness began its career with the German Idealists, in response to David Hume's radical skepticism.

Searing criticisms of arguments like Paley's are found in David Hume's posthumous Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion.

Nozick also argues that Rand's solution to David Hume's famous is-ought problem is unsatisfactory.

But to conflate Kant's and Hegel's versions of idealism is to seriously miss the point of Kant ’ s radical doubt, which was stimulated in turn by David Hume's.

David Hume's formulation of the problem of evil in Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion:

Relevant is the fact that certainty is never absolute in practice ( and not just because of David Hume's problem of induction ).

This refuted David Hume's suggestion that it was a church in the Strand.

Immanuel Kant started as a traditional rationalist, having studied the rationalists Leibniz and Wolff, but after studying David Hume's works, which " awoke from dogmatic slumbers ", he developed a distinctive and very influential rationalism of his own, which attempted to synthesize the traditional rationalist and empiricist traditions.

In 1767, against David Hume's advice, he published his Essay on the History of Civil Society, which was well received and translated into several European languages.

* Probability and Hume's Inductive Scepticism ( 1973 ) by David Stove

He defended John Milton against William Lauder's charge of plagiarism ( 1750 ), and attacked David Hume's rationalism in his Letter on the Criterion of Miracles ( 1754 ); he went on to criticise the followers of John Hutchinson in his Apology for the Clergy ( 1755 ).

* William Warburton-Remarks upon Mr. David Hume's Essay on the Natural History of Religion.

Leslie, a follower of David Hume, was attacked by the clerical party as a sceptic and an infidel, and Brown took the opportunity to defend Hume's doctrine of causality as in no way inimical to religion.

David Hume's statements on ethics foreshadowed those of 20th century emotivists.

He was David Hume's physician and friend, and on intimate terms with Adam Smith, Lord Kames ( with whom he discussed theoretical and practical aspects of husbandry ), Joseph Black, John Millar, and Adam Ferguson, among others.

Parfit's conclusion is similar to David Hume's view, and also to the view of the self in Buddhism, though it does not restrict itself to a mere reformulation of them.

However, per David Hume's problem of induction, science cannot be proven inductively by empirical evidence, and thus science cannot be proven scientifically.

Hume's Principle is named for the Scottish philosopher David Hume.

Hume's Principle appears in Frege's Foundations of Arithmetic, which quotes from Part III of Book I of David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature.

Bundle theory, originated by the 18th century Scottish philosopher David Hume, is the ontological theory about objecthood in which an object consists only of a collection ( bundle ) of properties, relations or tropes.

Another important result of Donaldson – Uhlenbeck – Yau is that a holomorphic vector bundle is stable ( in the sense of David Mumford ) if and only if there exists an Hermitian – Yang – Mills metric on it.

These conditions played an important role in the development of the structure theory of commutative rings in the works of David Hilbert, Emmy Noether, and Emil Artin.

Notable theories falling into this category include the Holonomic brain theory of Karl Pribram and David Bohm, and the Orch-OR theory formulated by Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose.

Many-worlds is often referred to as a theory, rather than just an interpretation, by those who propose that many-worlds can make testable predictions ( such as David Deutsch ) or is falsifiable ( such as Everett ) or by those who propose that all the other, non-MW interpretations, are inconsistent, illogical or unscientific in their handling of measurements ; Hugh Everett argued that his formulation was a metatheory, since it made statements about other interpretations of quantum theory ; that it was the " only completely coherent approach to explaining both the contents of quantum mechanics and the appearance of the world.

American scholar David Bordwell has spoken against many prominent developments film theory since the 1970s, i. e., he uses the humorously derogatory term " SLAB theory " to refer to film studies based on the ideas of Saussure, Lacan, Althusser, and / or Barthes.

More influentially, radical geography emerged in the 1970s and 1980s, drawing heavily on Marxist theory and techniques, and is associated with geographers such as David Harvey and Richard Peet.

* Cam. ac. uk, On-line textbook: " Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms " by David MacKay-giving an entertaining and thorough introduction to Shannon theory, including state-of-the-art methods from coding theory, such as arithmetic coding, low-density parity-check codes, and Turbo codes.

There are also some who reject both linguistic imperialism and David Crystal's theory of the neutrality of English.

* First Principles of Instruction instructional theory developed by M. David Merrill

His final book, Animal Signals, co-authored with David Harper was published in 2003 on signalling theory.

One of the most significant logicians of all time, Gödel made an immense impact upon scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century, a time when many, such as Bertrand Russell, A. N. Whitehead and David Hilbert, were pioneering the use of logic and set theory to understand the foundations of mathematics.

Classical economist David Ricardo's labor theory of value holds that the value of a good ( how much of another good or service it exchanges for in the market ) is proportional to how much labor was required to produce it, including the labor required to produce the raw materials and machinery used in the process.

For instance, David Ricardo theorized that prices are determined by the amount of labor but found exceptions for which the labor theory could not account.

The learning theories of John Dewey, Marie Montessori, and David Kolb serve as the foundation of constructivist learning theory.

In 2001, David Wiley criticized learning object theory in his paper, The Reusability Paradox which is summarized by D ' Arcy Norman as, If a learning object is useful in a particular context, by definition it is not reusable in a different context.

* Hirshleifer, Jack., Glazer, Amihai, and Hirshleifer, David, Price theory and applications: Decisions, markets, and information.

It was developed in parallel with a new approach to the mathematical spectral theory based on linear operators rather than the quadratic forms that were David Hilbert's approach a generation earlier.

According to the counterpart theory of David Lewis, the objects should be regarded as similar rather than identical.

David Armstrong, perhaps the most prominent contemporary realist, argues that such a trope-based variant of nominalism has promise, but holds that it is unable to account for the laws of nature in the way his theory of universals can.

The gate control theory of pain, proposed by Patrick David Wall and Ronald Melzack, postulates that nociception ( pain ) is " gated " by non-nociception stimuli such as vibration.
