Hume accepts the “realistic” critique of ancient philosophy offered by modern thinkers. Hume’s first, most obvious, and seemingly greatest philosophic accomplishment lies in subjecting the principles of modern philosophy to a searching skeptical criticism. The second, deeper goal is to illuminate our obscure condition and contradictory faculties and hence to distinguish the natural difficulties involved in philosophizing from artificial difficulties that modern thinkers have involved themselves in. Articulating the inconsistencies and mysteries, Hume provides a philosophy of common life and establishes grounds for philosophic modesty and political moderation.
