    The problem of knowledge in Hume's philosophy and Kant's attempt to solve it
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2008) Esenyel, Adnan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Felsefe Bölümü.
    The philosophical motion from Hume to Kant is a cornerstone in the history of philosophy. This is the motion which I will try to evaluate here. The problem of knowledge which was formulated by Hume shows us how the cartesian tradition since Descartes ' cogito finds itself in a blind alley. This is why Kant's attempt to solve that problem is very vital for epistemolgy. First of all we will see how Hume's empiricism ends with universal scepticism and I will try to show why he can not avoid that end. Then we will pass on Kant's response to Hume's scepticism. I will discuss whether his response is right and legitimate. In conclusion we will see that despite the strength which Kant's response possess, it contains also some unsolved problems which open door for scepticism.
