This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on David Hume's work, the Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, and examines his discussion in section 1 of the work, specifically the distinction Hume makes from the very first paragraph between two different modes of engaging in moral philosophy. One of these is what he calls "easy" and "obvious" philosophy, intended for the broad public, lacking rigor but suited for guiding the live of activity, business, and sociability. The other is what he calls "abstruse", "abstract", or "accurate" (and sometimes "metaphysics"), does have much more rigor, but will always be less popular and pertains to us as reasonable beings.
As it turns out, the issue is a good bit more complicated than the binary that Hume seems to impose here
