One section of this work compares Copernicans and Ptolemaics, who may hope to produce a conviction, to Pyrrhonians, whose acknowledgment of the beneficial influence of their philosophy would mean that all human life must perish.
One section of this work compares Copernicans and Ptolemaics, who may hope to produce a conviction, to Pyrrhonians, whose acknowledgment of the beneficial influence of their philosophy would mean that all human life must perish. In another section, its author states that the definitions of "liberty" and "necessity" have been a controversy about words, while, in another section, he distinguishes between "ideas" and "impressions" and argues that all creative power is nothing more than compounding the materials afforded by the senses. Yet another part of this work differentiates between "relations of ideas" and "matters of fact," citing the example that a claim that the statement that sun will not rise tomorrow is no less intelligible than its affirmation. FTP, name this empiricist philosophical work by David Hume.
