On Hume Metaphysical Criticism

This paper is divided into five parts.The first part is the history of metaphysics back. Introduce anti-metaphysics in Hume, before the development of metaphysical theory. Western philosophy, Parmenides is the originator of rational metaphysics. Anti-natural philosophy before he generated for all things primitive tradition, focused on exploring the logic of the world the nature of the first time in the history of philosophy with "yes" as the core, including "thinking", "language", "truth", etc. all areas, indicating the birth of traditional metaphysics. Plato's Parmenides thinking along the way to continue to explore the logic of things, the nature of the system put forward their ideas on. On the concept, the traditional metaphysical theories and methods of content features have been largely identified. Aristotle's empirical observation method to remove all the ideas on the frame of mind, formed the core areas of metaphysics, a clear sense of formal metaphysics and the study. Cartesian metaphysics is called a new beginning, in its two major implications:First, to achieve a Western philosophy from the "god" of metaphysics to the "human" metaphysical transformation. Second, the implementation of Western philosophy from ontology to epistemology conversion. Locke in the recognition of intellectual, sure we all objective things, the nature and relations can have many real concept of proportionality, while another set for the understanding of the unknown object.The second, third and fourth part are the core text, introduces Hume on Metaphysics. Hume's theory is based primarily on two:the first principle of human nature (impressions and ideas theoretical) and the Hume of the fork (the relationship between the concept and the actual things). Hume think that all science and human nature are related, "people's science is the only solid foundation of all science." Therefore, he called his philosophy science of human nature. This paper critically reasons, theoretical origin, methodology, theory Hume described various aspects of the anti-metaphysical thinking, and discusses in detail the epistemology of Hume's criticism of metaphysics. In short, Hume aims to overthrow the metaphysical foundation and building human and scientific system.The last part is the significance of Hume's criticism of metaphysics, limitations and impact. Hume's empiricism from the first principle, on the arbitrariness of traditional metaphysics, blindness and Ponder started and profound criticism of the system. Hume's philosophy in opposition to the process metaphysics are also exposed their deficiencies. The first principle is a powerful weapon critical metaphysics, Hume also determine the limitations of theory itself. First, in epistemology, the idea is the impression of copies, and there is only direct empirical lively impression of the different degree, but not fundamental differences. This narrow experience of the other negative consequences is agnosticism.Hume on Metaphysics lasting, profound and comprehensive impact on the development of modern philosophy, their views not only learn the German classical philosophy as the source of the modern Western philosophical thinking. His ideas of Kant, Hegel, and even the French materialism of modern western philosophy, religion, theology have had a profound effect.
