Hume's absurdly primitive epistemology made clear reason nearly impossible. All the rest of his philosophy is the result of this corrupt foundation. It seems clear to me that Hume was what we now call a liberal. Perhaps he was the father of liberalism.
Hume's "philosophy" is literally the very opposite of learning. How ironic that it finds its most enthusiastic adherents within the walls of institutions of "higher learning".

John Locke was the Father of Liberalism.
