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.
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.
《人性论》(第一卷)笔记:对“论观念”一章的解释 《人性论》第一卷是关于认识论的,分为四章。第一章“论观念、它们的起源、组合、抽象、联系等”和第二章“论空间和时间观念”主要讨论了观念的起源、分类和性质。第三章“论知识和概然判断”专门讨论了或然性知识,即因果...
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...

评分读的excerts
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
评分确实有道理
