Hume and Shutter Island movie
Order Description
At the end of the film Shutter Island, Teddy Daniels finds himself in quite the predicament. It is not clear what is real. And worse: Teddy Daniels does not know who he really is.
In this writing assignment, I want you to explore whether Hume's philosophy can offer a solution to the problem. Can Hume's methods offer a way out?
Write a short essay (no more than 1000 words) in which you take a position on whether Hume can offer a way out. You will want to choose the path that seems the most promising, or else, if you think Hume cannot offer a way out, show why the most promising way cannot work.
