After Hume have shown that causal reasoning not part of the scope of deductive reason, as they could be said legitimate? We will show how legitimate beliefs are possible in the epistemology of David Hume. Show how legitimate beliefs are possible is important to avoid an epistemological anarchism, in which even philosophy would be impossible. Thereby, despite the reason was dethroned and causal reasoning have gained the belief status derived from the instinct of habit, we will show that still legitimate beliefs are possible. To this end, we will give the status of proof to causal beliefs thus conferring legitimacy that Hume's epistemology allows. Once this is done, we will have criteria epistemically safe and resettable to identify, in this broad sphere of causal beliefs, which can be avoided and which should be followed. This dissertation will be structured from A Treatise of Human Nature and An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding David Hume.
