1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
When
this work is completed, it is our hope that it is going to be of
importance in the sense that at least we would have succeeded in
bringing to light some of the very important aspects of David Hume’s
empiricism and at the same time would have also succeeded in pointing
out problems inherent in it.
The work will equally be of help or
assistance to students who will want to do some works in the area of
David Hume’s empiricism as it will provide some aid to them by providing
them with a kind of insight into the nature of Hume’s empiricism. But
we must point out here that this work should not be taken as all there
is in Hume’s empiricism. But where however, we could not cover, the
references. That appear at the end of the work will therefore be
adequate to direct or refer students to where information as regards
those areas will be gathered.
To people who may not be doing works on
David Hume`s Empiricism; to non-philosophers, who may thus be reading
for knowledge acquisition or for pleasure, this work will equally be of
immense help as the approach that will be adopted here and the choice of
works will not be difficult to understand.
1.5 SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY
We
have already shown from the title of this work that this work is
concerned with providing a critique of David Hume’s empiricism. However,
just as it is done in every critical study, we are not going to rush
into the criticism just like that, we therefore will have a guide or
focus as regards what to criticize. Hume’s empiricism itself is to
provide the guide because, as we are going to criticize it, we will have
to present his empiricism so as to point out what it entails. After
doing this, we will then know how to anchor our criticism to the
problems we will observe, having discovered the nature of Hume’s
Empiricism.
