In my paper I present David Hume's philosophy from the perspective of Charles Sanders Peirce's theory of signs. I argue that by interpreting impressions and ideas as iconic signs it is possible to avoid many inconsistencies in Hume's philosophy. Apart from that it makes possible to avoid Hume's scepticism about the existence of the external world by introducing Peirce's concept of the dynamic and immediate object. What is more, the generative structure of signs helps us to deal with the "gmissing shade of blue" problem.

Celem mojej pracy jest ukazanie filozofii Hume'a z perspektywy teorii znaku sformułowanej przez Charlesa Sandersa Peirce'a. Interpretując impresje i idee jako znaki ikoniczne możliwe stanie się uniknięcie licznych niespójności w filozofii Hume'a. Wprowadzając Peircowską koncepcję przedmiotu dynamicznego i przedmiotu bezpośredniego stanie się możliwe uniknięcie sceptycyzmu co do istnienia świata zewnętrznego. Poza tym generatywna struktura znaku pozwoli nam uniknąć problemu "brakującego odcienia błękitu".
