I need help with my Introduction to Phillosophy course homework!!!

Question

We are to use a passage from the Treatise of Human Nature's Appendix and knowledge about Hume, Des Cartes, and Kant to answer the following question. Here is the link to the passage. http://books.google.com/books?id=5xJLAAAAMAAJ&dq=treatise of human nature&pg=PP1&ots=uaGWoUqid-&sig=sAsulIW... type in PAGE 635. The proff only needs us to read from "Phillosophers begin to be reconciled..." until the pharagraph that begins "I shal also take..." on the next page.

The questions are:

1) From what uou know of Hume's theoru of knowledge what is it in the passage he is saying is too difficult for his understanding? What considerations from his theory force him to admit this point?

2) Explain why Descartes would not liekly have run into the problem that Hume runs into?

3) What answer does Kant offer to Hume's problem? Explain in detail.

Some one please help me!!! I know the answers but i am so lost as to how to explain them!!

Answer 1

The best help you could have with your homework - and your studies - is to simply do your own homework.  It is the only way to obtain the level of self discipline we are expecting you to achieve long before graduation from the University or College you attend.

So - from a philosophical point of view - is it better for all students to get answers online - or would it be better for all students to learn the very important answers on their own?
