Develop and defend your own philosophical perspective on the topic. Hume gives a general account of how we come by our beliefs about unobserved “matters of fact,” but most of his examples concern a special case: beliefs about the future. First, come up with an example that does not fit this mold—a belief about some past or present matter of fact that you have not personally observed. Explain how Hume’s problem about induction arises in your case, and what the problem is more generally. (roughly 1/3 of paper)Hume claims that all of our reasoning concerning unobserved matters of fact is “founded on the relation of cause and effect.” But this is puzzling. People living near the ocean have always known that high tide is followed by low tide at certain intervals. These people experience a regularity and come to expect it to persist into the future, and this would appear to be a clear example of the sort of reasoning Hume has in mind. But over the centuries, most of these people have had no idea what causes the tides. That is a scientific discovery (due to Isaac Newton).In this part of your paper, explain why Hume might have thought reasoning about the unobserved involves reasoning about causes, and why the case of the tides and the case you came up with in the first part of your paper, may pose a problem. What problem does it pose? (1/3 also)Lastly, is Hume just wrong to say that reasoning about the unobserved always involves reasoning about causes? If so, why? If not, why not?
