Question

We’ve seen that Hume claims that words are used quite frequently that have no "definite idea" attached to them. One way for this to happen is for people to have no clear idea of what they are talking about when they use these words. In your view, to what extent is this true of words like 'God,' 'soul' and 'heaven'? Combined with the apparent fact that there are no sense impressions of these things, does this mean, as Hume suggests, that they have the same metaphysical status as Santa Claus, and the Easter Bunny—fictitious entities that only some gullible kids believe in? And, hence, that we shouldn't bother to have philosophical conversations involving these words? minimum 150 words

Answer 1

Ans. Philosopher David Hume urge empiricism. The words which have no definite idea used frequently because they are related to imagination as well as faiths. When people talk about the words which they never experienced, always relate to beliefs and socio-cultural learning. Fiction are the expression of human fundamental instinct that is imagination so that when imagination connects with faith, people create own character like God, Devil or Superheroes.

Humanity always try to find the answer their question about metaphysics so that we created a thread which never ends and we can never give up to know the end of this thread, this is called faith or trust on unexperienced phenomena. In eastern philosophy like Vedas, people showed their curiosity and imagination.

God exist or not exist both questions are the part of metaphysic, who believes in God always experience the God’s will, on the other hand some of us try to denied it but both are working to same objective by different direction so that it is not possible to prove both answers and this thing lead us to Unexperienced words.
