Our main objective in this article is to show how the sections "of the reason of animals" support the thesis of a naturalization of Hume's epistemology. To this end, it will be divided into three major parts. In the first one, we will show how Hume used analogy as a basis for assuming continuity between the intellective faculties of human and non-human animals. In the second, we will indicate the similarities that corroborate the analogy and, in the last one, we will point out that the differences between humans and other animals are only of degree and never of quality.
