Hume Says, "All Arguments Concerning Existence Are Founded on the Relation

question 45

True/False

Hume says, "all arguments concerning existence are founded on the relation of cause and effect; that our knowledge of that relation is derived entirely from experience; and that all our experimental conclusions proceed upon the supposition that the future will be conformable to the past." However, Hume argues that the proof of this last supposition by probable arguments, or arguments regarding existence, must be going in a circle.
