Hume’un Dış Dünyanın Varlığına İlişkin Tartışmadaki Niyeti

Hume’s Intention in the Discussion about the Existence of the External World

The subject of the existence of the external world is mostly located in an epistemological inquiry in the history of philosophy. Many philosophers have dealt with the question of whether the existence of the external world could be known or not or how it could be known. One of these philosophers is David Hume. Hume tackles our ideas about the existence of the external world as a matter of belief. He questions the belief in the continued and distinct existence of external objects even when are not perceived. In this study, it will be investigated how the belief of the external world that is the continued and distinct from our mind and our perception is derived, and which faculty is active in the production of the belief; and then, with this debate, it will be claimed that the intention of Hume is to reveal the epistemological value of such a belief
