ABSTRACT
Critical principles of such potency deserve careful examination, and Hume, curiously, was the first to provide it. In fact, his title for the chapter in the Enquiry where he introduced his principles is "Sceptical Doubts Concerning the Operations of the Understanding." In the present section I shall discuss his skeptical doubts about experimental inference. In a later section I shall discuss his skeptical doubts about the testimony of our senses and our memory, and shall also comment critically on his claims about meaning and comprehensible objects of inquiry.
