Un molde histórico adecuado para comprender el escepticismo de Hume es la filosofía escéptica académica. Un análisis histórico revela que, de hecho, se encuentran algunas semejanzas importantes entre Hume y Carneades. Sin embargo, en el punto más fuerte de aproximación entre esos filósofos, el probabilismo de uno y el probabilismo de otro, se revela una falsa pista. La aproximación entre la creencia humeana y la carneadeana también resulta sospechosa. El pirronismo provee otro molde históricamente adecuado. El probabilismo de Hume, contenido en su teoría de la causalidad, está estrechamente emparentado con la doctrina pirrónica del signo conmemorativo. Otros puntos semejantes entre Hume y Sexto Empírico son: la idea de seguir la naturaleza, la defensa de la vida común, creencias no-dogmáticas y el origen empírico de nuestros pensamientos. El escepticismo pirrónico es, tal como el escepticismo humeano, una forma de empirismo. Ante estas constataciones, no cabe sino concluir que coincide en muchos puntos al escepticismo académico. El escepticismo humeano también está muy cerca del pirronismo.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract I propose a comparison between David Hume and the ancient forms of scepticism. An apropriate historical mold to understand Hume&#8217;s scepticism is Academic Sceptic Philosophy. A historical analysis shows that, in fact, there exist certain, important similarities between Hume and Carneades. Nevertheless, there is a false clue on the strongest proximity point between these two philosophers, probabilism from one of them, and probabilism from the other one. The closeness between Humean believing and Carneadean believing turns out to be suspicious also. Pyrrhonism provides another apropriate hitorical mold. Hume&#8217;s probabilism, included in his theory of causality, is closely related to the Pyrrhonic doctrine of commemorative sign. Other points of proximity between Hume and Sextus Empriricus are: the idea of following Nature; the defense of common life, non-dogmatic beliefs, and the empirical origin of our thoughts. As Humean scepticism, Pyrrhonic scepticism is a form of empiricism. In the face of this state of affairs, it only remains to conclude that the latter is quite similar in many aspects to academic scepticism. And Humean scepticism is quite close to Pyrrhonism also.]]></p></abstract>
