Question

From Classics of Philosophy(3e) by Louis Pojman and Lewis Vaughn textbook with in-text citation answer the question;

1) In section V of his Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, David Hume proposes a solution to the problem of doubt -- identify and describe this solution as it relates to radical doubt.

Answer 1

The famous terminologies like "skepticism" and "naturalism" are often visible  in discussions of Hume, and his relationship with each is hotly debated and discussed due to the nature of the issues and their significance in the problems around. Hume is termed a skeptic on account of the doubts he raises as to the capabilities of reason. This has been thought in detail before concluding and a classic account of modern skepticism is found in Descartes' ##Meditations##, in which all knowledge based on sensory experience is cast into doubt. On this  Hume goes miles ahead and surely casts our ability to reason inductively into doubt. While Descartes ultimately squirms away from his doubts, Hume sticks to his, claiming that we have no rational justification for anything outside of immediate sensations and a priori reasoning which for a matter of fact does seem to make sense in all the things that people seem to be doing or showcase.
