Question: Would Hume agree with Descartes that we can construct a complete system of knowledge of reality based upon universal truths that are innately known (a priori) by the mind?
Answer: No way! Any knowledge of reality is constructed from particular observations. The generalizations we make, based on those observations, could always turn out to be false!
