Examination No. 1 Question #8

Why is it important, with reference to the great debate over Hume’s empiricism, to clarify the difference between, “contrary to experience” and “contradictory to experience”?

Paley and Campbell will help you answer this question. Where, in their respective writings, do these two authors address Hume's idea?

Can you identify any problems or inconsistencies in Hume's use of 'contrary to experience'?
