Metal Print : David Hume, caricature
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
David Hume, caricature
David Hume. Caricature of the British philosopher and historian David Hume (1711-1776). Hume influenced the development of scepticism and empiricism. He rejected the idea of causality, claiming that one event would not necessarily lead to another - events were linked only by the imagination of the observer rather than by reason. In effect, Hume was rejecting scientific laws which state that one action necessarily produces another in a predictable manner. As an historian, Hume broke with tradition by explaining the intellectual and economic reasons behind events rather than just describing the events in a strictly chronological order

EDITORS COMMENTS
This comical black and white caricature print captures the essence of David Hume, the influential British philosopher and historian of the 18th century. With a mischievous grin on his face, Hume's image is brought to life through this humorous illustration. Known for his significant contributions to scepticism and empiricism, Hume challenged traditional beliefs by rejecting the concept of causality. According to him, events were not necessarily linked in a predictable manner but rather connected only by the observer's imagination. As an historian, Hume revolutionized the field by going beyond mere chronology and delving into intellectual and economic reasons behind historical events. This artistic portrayal showcases his unique approach to understanding history. The monochrome sketch beautifully captures Hume's personality as an adult figure with a keen intellect. His surname "H" stands out prominently against the white background, emphasizing his lasting impact on Western philosophy. This artwork serves as a reminder of Hume's legacy - challenging conventional wisdom, questioning established scientific laws, and offering new perspectives on human experience. It invites us to reflect upon our own assumptions about causality while appreciating the wit and depth that characterized this remarkable philosopher-historian.
