Gordon Clark Refutes David Hume, Empiricism (Wheaton Lectures)
From Clark and His Critics, published by the Trinity Foundation (page numbers are from the Apple Books e-book).
On the same nominalistic basis Hume, Berkeley’s successor, showed conclusively that no universal judgments could be had. The propositions — all men are mortal, and all pendulums swing so that their period is proportional to the square root of their length — are impossible, because no one has experienced all the past nor any of the future. Clearly, without common nouns and universal judgments knowledge had little left.
