重解休谟问题

休谟问题是关于因果性的问题,其中蕴含着归纳问题。由于它本身的模糊性,后人有的把它重述为因果问题,有的把它重述为归纳问题。然而不论是因果问题还是归纳问题,其根源是休谟对经验所产生知识的必然性的怀疑。文章对必然性知识进行了讨论。在此知识背景下,揭示了普遍因果性原理的必然性,阐明了因果推理和归纳推理的合理性,使休谟问题得到了解决。

Reexplaining the Hume Issue

The Hume issue is about cause and effect and contains induction.Because of the fuzziness of the issue,some descendents treated it as a cause and effect issue,and others treated it as an induction issue,the root of which is that Hume doubted that experience inevitably produced knowledge.The article has a discussion on inevitable knowledge,reveals the inevitability of the general principle of cause and effect,expounds the rationality of cause-and-effect reasoning and inductive reasoning,and thus leaves the Hume issue settled.
