Thing is the collection of ideas

British empiricism philosopher Barclay thought that if adhere to the materialism of things outside the mind, will lead to the consequences of skepticism and atheism, so he tried his best to eliminate the concept of matter from philosophy. The characteristic of the ideas of sense, in his view, is that they are so clear, so definite, so fixed, that they cannot be altered by our will; These ideas tend to form a certain fixed set, they appear and disappear at the same time; These ideas are stable and orderly. They are then regarded as things different from ideas, and this is called "things". The so-called "material substance" is just an abstract noun, is meaningless, "matter" is nothing.

Mild skepticism

Hume is one of the main representatives of empiricism in modern England. He carried out the basic principles of empiricism to the end and reached the conclusion of skepticism. According to Hume, all our knowledge comes from sensory experience, but we have to doubt where it comes from, because sensory experience is the basis of knowledge, but it cannot go beyond itself to sense its source, so the source of sensory experience is unknowable. Hume's "mild skepticism" is the logical and inevitable result of empiricism, which makes the ideal of empiricism and rationalism to solve the problem of knowledge get into a predicament.

Habit is a great guide to life

Through an in-depth investigation of causality, Hume believed that the discovery of causality could not be made through reason but only through experience. However, experience could not tell us the inevitable connection between causality, but they could affect our mind in a certain way. When we regularly experience event A, there is always A phase of event B, which leads to A kind of habitual association between our experience of event A and that of event B. This is the origin of the idea of "inevitable connection". Hume concluded that "all inferences from experience are the result of habit and not of reason" and that "habit is the great guide of life".
