liberty and necessity

it seems that the biggest tension in the controversy of liberty and necessity in hume's point of view is the language and vocabulary. hume says that if the meaning of some word could have been agreed upon thousands of years ago than there would be less confussion when it comes to the agrument of liberty and necessity. because everyone views liberty and necessity a little different there can be no end to this argument.

This is true because the definition needs to be specified in order for everyone to be arguing on the same terms. If a term isn't universally defined, then confusion is all that is achieved.
