David hume (1711-76) devoted himself from early youth to 'philosophy and great learning'. A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40) was not well received on publication, but is now viewed as his masterpiece.
Ernest Campbell Mossner is the author of many books on Hume. He has received fellowships from Columbia, Guggenheim and Fulbright, and has held the post of Professor of English and Philosophy at the University of Texas.
One of the most significant works of Western philosophy, Hume's Treatise was published in 1739-40, before he was thirty years old. A pinnacle of English empiricism, it is a comprehensive attempt to apply scientific methods of observation to a study of human nature, and a vigorous attack upon the principles of traditional metaphysical thought. With masterly eloquence, Hume denies the immortality of the soul and the reality of space; considers the manner in which we form concepts of identity, cause and effect; and speculates upon the nature of freedom, virtue and emotion. Opposed both to metaphysics and to rationalism, Hume's philosophy of informed scepticism sees man not as a religious creation, nor as a machine, but as a creature dominated by sentiment, passion and appetite.
不太容易看,不是那种能划出中心句的写法。枝杈和主线平铺着,有时候要反驳的作为靶子的观点也论证很久简直要被说服了。后来有些地方就没有跟着细抠了。觉得休谟这个人非常可爱,因为快乐乐观自然而然地善良的感觉。又像个爱钻牛角尖的理科男同学,越说越觉得自己太有道理啦。...
评分谢天谢地,我不是一个哲学家。 大卫·休谟的这本哲学巨著包括三个部分的内容:第一卷,关于知性的论述;第二卷,关于情感的论述;第三卷,道德学。 老实说,第一部分我完全没有能够读进去,太抽象,太繁琐了;借阅时的心喜转变成了阅读时的头大,这一卷我是飘过去的(不要联...
评分简单地说《纯粹理性批判》是康德企图对抗休谟的经验主义与怀疑主义的尝试,这涉及逻辑学的一个古老的传统,即“分析判断”与“综合判断”的区分,分析判断主要指不需要通过经验进行验证的命题(比如说单身男性就是没有结婚的男性,等等),这一区别可以追溯回莱布尼茨,而休谟...
评分《人性论》书评:休谟的 “人性科学”。 全书分为三卷:第一卷“论知性”,是他的认识论:认识的来源只能是感觉经验—知识分两类,其中“一切关于事实的推理,似乎都建立在因果关系上”,而因果关系的基础归结于人的自然本性,把“最大的确定性和最严格的必然性”当做基于人性的...
评分相信每个哲学家在探索自己的精神之路上都有过怀疑与困惑,他们是怎样度过这种自己作为哲学家的与外部世界的隔绝对立,怎样最后走出矛盾和内外分离的人生的。在看完这篇摘自人性论一卷结尾的休谟对他哲学探索过程的回忆之后,对爱好哲学的人或许也能指点一二,远离哲学给我...
确实有道理
评分很诚实
评分仅第二卷和一部分第三卷。教之前搞得很紧张,生怕被问各种答不出来的问题。后来发现真是多虑了:同学们由于一头雾水于是甚至都不知道该问什么。
评分休谟的Ideas are copied from impressions, 怎么解释数学呢,can all our mathematical ideas be traced to the original impressions?休谟区分了relations of ideas和matters of fact, 是不是说前者的ideas可以不需要印象呢?——the mere operation of thought. 还是说,观念与印象的这种关系,只是「简单的(simple)」观念和印象之间,并不是所有;而数学上的简单观念(比如数字1、2、3这些观念)需要其对应的印象(有三个石头),但随着推理的进行(到了十亿),就不需要印象了(不需要实际经历到十亿个石头)?艾耶尔谈到休谟并不关心数学,而是事实
