This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on David Hume's work, the Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, and discusses what distinguishes what goes on in our belief that something is the case or is real, from the workings of the imagination or fancy. In Hume's view the key difference is that belief is accompanied by a feeling or sentiment associated with it.

Thank you. I am just about going deeper into David Hume and this is precisely the concept I was looking for.

Hello Dr. Sadler; Seems to me, that belief can be a guide, that can lead us to the truth; until we have to start with another belief. And I guess we do imagine or believe something to be the case. thanks for the lesson bruce

Writing an essay about the philosophy of desire, was just about to get started on a section about Hume (i.e. his famous "reason is a slave of the passions)". Then I saw this pop up on my feed!

Why would someone think belief is just a combination of ideas? Usually, there's got to be something than just that, right?

Gregory B. Sadler Could we combine the idea of actuality with any given concept to get a belief? If you asked me to imagine an actual pine forest than I would have to imagine one I believe in wouldn't I? And if someone said imagine IF x pine forest was actual I think I would only be combining potentiality with the concept.
