The article tries to capture the style of Hume's scepticism and to offer hints on its nature as a process. Hume wrote that "If truth be at all within the reach of human capacity, 'tis certain it must lie very deep and abstruse", and that "Philosophy would render us entirely Pyrrhonian, were not nature too strong for it". The article considers these expressions of scepticism, their sources and their double-edged structure throughout Hume's works, and shows that philosophical scepticism, insofar as it is an abstruse philosophy, can only be intermittent.
