This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern empiricist philosopher David Hume' Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

It focuses specifically on his views on whether non-human animals engage in reasoning or not. He argues that most human beings are not engaged in explicit reasoning most of the time, including philosophers, and that non-human animals are guided by experience and custom like human beings, but rely more upon instinct than do human beings
