As a result of Kant, no legitimate philosophers take Hume seriously.
Derrida is Dead-

As a result of Kant, no legitimate philosophers take Hume seriously.
In whose opinon?

do you want him to read both of them to you?
my guess is his.
monooq-
do you want him to read both of them to you?
No, but I wanted to point out how inappropriate his use of the word “unassailable” is.
my guess is his.
My point exactly. I know opinions are valid conversation, but these are rather extreme, and I wanted to show that.
Sincerely,
Floyd
Bertrand Russel was a legitimate Philosopher. He took Hume seriously, and also felt that Kant had failed to entirely refute Hume’s various points.
Some of Karl Popper’s work on falsification was done in response to points Hume had raised. I don’t think he would have bothered had he not taken it seriously.
Thomas Reid was once a highly regarded, then forgotten, Philosopher who is just now being rediscovered as of late. He was in awe of Hume, some of his best work would be written in response to questions Hume had raised.
Just because you, personally, do not like Hume does nothing to subtract from his importance. Even if you build an altar to Kant and raise him high as your most divine being, what would Kant be without Hume stirring the hornet’s nest to awaken old Immanuel from his ‘dogmatic slumber’?
its true. hume is best thought of as a stepping stone to kant. and its not me whos saying nobody takes him seriously. kant did. how couldn’t you?
