你应该相信你听到的东西吗？- Allan Hazlett

我们对周围世界的理解大多基于他人的观点。难道这意味着我们相信他人的证词是有依据的吗？在本模块中，我们将探讨两位伟大的苏格兰启蒙哲学家对这个问题的解答，他们分别是大卫·休谟 (1711 - 1776) 和托马斯·里德 (1710 - 1796)。休谟和里德在证词方面存在的争议代表了两种世界观之间的冲突，而这种冲突将会延续数百年：一种是怀疑且通常是世俗的世界观，总是对一切持怀疑态度（以休谟为代表），一种是保守且通常是宗教的世界观，以捍卫常识为己任（以里德为代表）。

Okay, so in the last segment, we talked about David Hume's argument that you

should never believe that a miracle's occurred on the base of testimony.

Lots of ways you could challenge Hume's argument, one way you could challenge,

you could challenge his definition of a miracle,

you could say he's got that wrong.

But I think there's a really, another interesting way to challenge the argument.

Challenge the assumption, you should only trust testimony when you've got evidence

the testifier is likely to be right.

And that's the premise of Hume's argument that his most

important contemporary critic, Thomas Reid Took issue with.

So Reid was a minister in the Church of Scotland and

a professor at the Universities of Aberdeen and Glasgow.

He challenged this assumption of Hume's in a book called Inquiry into the Human Mind

on the Principles of Common Sense, which was first published in 1764.

And the challenge comes in a section that I'll read entitled

of the analogy between perception and the credit we give human testimony.

So Reed argued that trusting testimony is just like trusting your senses.

Trusting what you see around you.

To believe in something on the basis of what someone else says

is just like believing on the basis of seeing it with your own eyes Reed thought.

Here's the interesting thing, we don't only trust

our senses when we've got evidence that they're likely to be right.

Hume and Reid, one of the few things that they agreed on was that

we don't have any kind of good evidence that our senses are likely to be right.

So Hume and Reid both thought we don't trust our senses on the basis of

evidence that they're likely to be right.

So what Reed is going to challenge is Hume's assumption we should only

trust testimony on the basis of evidence that the testifier is likely to be right.

So why does he think that?

What's his argument?

Well Hume and Reed both thought there were innate principles that governed

how we think and how we feel.

They wouldn't put it this way but

they both thought we were hard wired to think in certain ways.

So they both thought, for example, that we're hardwired to trust our senses,

we're hardwired to believe what we see before our eyes.

But here's what Reid thought that Hume didn't think.

Reid thought that we're also hardwired to trust testimony.

He said there's an innate principle of credulity he called it.

And here's what that principle was, the disposition to confide in the veracity of

others, and to believe what they tell us.
