In the end of the book 1 of Treatise of Human Nature, Hume confronts what he calls a 'very dangerous dilemma' concerning reason and imagination, which eventually leads him to deep philosophical melancholy and delirium. The aim of this paper is to elucidate the structure and implication of this dilemma by finding a clear connection between Humeʼs explanations of belief formations by means of two kinds of ʻgeneral rulesʼ on the one hand, and his sceptical arguments, namely with regard to reason and senses, which he presents in the final part of the book 1 on the other.
