A Brief Introduction to david hume's Philosophical Thought?

His distinction between two kinds of knowledge and his suspicion of causality established his position in western epistemology; His analysis of human nature opened up emotionalism in western moral philosophy, and also achieved utilitarianism later; His skepticism broke Kant's dream of dogmatism; His empirical method has become an important magic weapon for Vienna School to launch the movement of analytical philosophy. All these make Hume's philosophy undoubtedly an important chapter in the history of western philosophy, but at the same time it leaves us with the impression that Hume is only a humanist holding high the banner of empiricism and a moderate skeptic.
