AndrocatThe only reason we have the term "abductive reasoning" is that people failed to actually comprehend Hume."...this operation of the mind, by which we infer like effects from like causes, and vice versa..."Hume was writing about cognition as a whole.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Hume" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hume</a>

AndrocatHume dropping real-life advice to exemplify his point wrt reason and experience."NOTHING is more usual than for writers, even, on moral, political, or physical subjects, to distinguish between reason and experience, and to suppose, that these species of argumentation are entirely different from each other. The former are taken for the mere result of our intellectual faculties, which, by considering à priori the nature of things, and examining the effects, that must follow from their operation, establish particular principles of science and philosophy. The latter are supposed to be derived entirely from sense and observation, by which we learn what has actually resulted from the operation of particular objects, and are thence able to infer, what will, for the future, result from them. Thus, for instance, the limitations and restraints of civil government, and a legal constitution, may be defended, either from reason, which reflecting on the great frailty and corruption of human nature, teaches, that no man can safely be trusted with unlimited authority; or from experience and history, which inform us of the enormous abuses, that ambition, in every age and country, has been found to make of so imprudent a confidence."<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Hume" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hume</a>

MissConstrueI’ve just read about a set of David Hume’s letters being auctioned, and I have to say that were I ridiculously wealthy, I would absolutely spend all my money making sure things like this were safely archived in museums where people could see them, and where they would be protected from the elements and ravages of time. He was such an extraordinary writer, his snide turns of phrase, his elegant dismissal of the external divine, his belief that humanity was humanity’s greatest hope and enemy. These were letters to a friend, and they stayed in that family from the 1700s until now. I hope the purchaser puts, at the very least, archival copies of the letters online, so we can read them. <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/hume" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hume</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/empiricism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#empiricism</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/skeptics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skeptics</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/enlightenment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enlightenment</a> <a href="https://www.bonhams.com/auction/29882/lot/9/hume-david-series-of-six-autograph-letters-to-his-friend-william-mure-of-caldwell-1718-1776-and-one-contemporary-copy-7/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bonhams.com/auction/29882/lot/9/hume-david-series-of-six-autograph-letters-to-his-friend-william-mure-of-caldwell-1718-1776-and-one-contemporary-copy-7/</a>A primer on Hume: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hume" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hume</a>

AndrocatOK, brief introduction: Hume pointed out (the word "prove" is too much for simply showing that there isn't any valid way to turn "is" into "ought") that morality is not "logical".Let me stop you right there: Hume didn't believe "logic" was worth much at all. He didn't mean that "being a decent human being" was "illogical" in the Vulcan sense.He just showed that it doesn't arise from facts about the world in a logical manner, and that people who attempt to derive moral imperatives from facts about the world are frauds who likely want bad things.So what does it mean?Well, it means that morality is not a discipline of the mind. It's not like math or economics where one can make up shit and pretend it's real.You had to have been there. Morality is about how humans experience the world. The kind of shit humans get up to, and how it is experienced - by individuals at scale.That puts it in the domain of social science.Am I the only one sort of surprised that this isn't immediately obvious to everyone?Isn't it a bit shocking, that we have to go metatheory on it to realize where it belongs?The only thing I can think of is that there is a bulwark against that realization, built into our common culture and discourse.Like this is some dirty secret that must be hidden.I don't have an answer for that. Not right now at least.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sociology</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#morality</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/hume" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hume</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/logic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#logic</a>

AndrocatIf you see a person who claims to believe in logic and reason, and then you see them attempt to construct a disproof of Hume’s Guillotine, mark them down as a know-nothing nincompoop, and never take anything they say seriously again.Hume’s guillotine is a simple statement, that one cannot logically derive an “ought” from premises of the form “is”, i.e. that one cannot construct a moral imperative from any number of statements about the state of the world.The reason why trying to disprove it ought to be a third rail is that it is a systematic statement:In the limited set of valid logical inferences, there are none that would allow the transformation of the word “is” into the word “ought”. Understanding this is as simple as checking the list, and understanding that a correct application of logic involves 1:1 transformations.Failing to understand it, even for a moment, is failing on a very low bar.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/hume" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hume</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/morality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#morality</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/guillotine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guillotine</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/logic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#logic</a>
