Abstract
A considerable part of Hume’s philosophy is centered around issues concerning the epistemic foundation of beliefs — ranging from the most rudimentary and unproblematic, such as belief in the existence of unperceived objects or belief in our personal identity to the most sophistical such as belief in the laws of motion or in “Providential Design,” and to the most irrational, such as belief in immortality or in miracles and the like.
