Abstract

The modern philosophy, especially with the enlightenment, propose the human emancipation from error and investigations that do not go beyond the capacity of human faculties. In that sense, how do they comprehend the role of education? In this context, we can emphasize Hume`s work on philosophy. Indeed, he does not have any specific philosophy of education, but, is possible and fruitful try to present a new approach on education that have their ground on humean philosophy. It is the intent of this paper, taking into consideration the naturalistic and skeptic aspects of the Scottish philosopher, trying to support that a skeptical and naturalistic education is coherent with Hume intentions
