What is Hume's Dilemma?

Question

Philosophy

Help me to explain Hume's Dilemma

Answer 1

Either induction is proved by deduction, which it cannot be because the justification for a necessary premise-- the uniformity of nature -- cannot be justified, except by induction, OR induction's proof is provided by induction, which is circular; therefore induction isn't reasonable.

If you meant Hume's fork
(because he has more than one dilemma for sure):

Answer 2

But Hume noted another conflict, one that turned the problem of free will into a full-fledged dilemma: free will is incompatible with indeterminism. Imagine that your actions are not determined by what events came before. Then your actions are, it seems, completely random. Moreover, and most importantly for Hume, they are not determined by your character
