Summary/Abstract: Empirism is the one which has made the background of ethical and spirirtual crises on the West by finding the spiritual principles and therms unimportant and overlooking religion and its basic principles. Just according to this theory Hume question one of the most important philosopohic principles - the pinciple of causality which is the infrastructure of any kind of knowledge or thaught. Critisizing Hume’s attitude the author tries to show that the denying the principle of causality cannot lead to any other result but the absolute scepticism. So, by denying the principle of causality in the real world, Hume questions the values of his principles and contemplation as well.
