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.
谈论休谟的哲学思想,首推便是这本《人性论》。这本书之所以伟大,大体上我们可以列出许多原因。例如它是怀疑主义的代表作,它的思维缜密而细腻,它缜密与细腻之后的温柔关怀,等等。但从思想史上来说,休谟这一本书,基本上为康德的三大批判——《纯粹理性批判》《实...
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...
评分导论即表示一切自然科学都是基于人的学科。因此将研究直指人之本身,即休谟的人性。而休谟认为这种认识人性的基础为经验和观察。 一卷,论知性。 一章论观念。知觉被休谟分为印象和观念,区别在于刺激心灵的强烈程度,但全部观念在初出现时都是来自简单印象(经验论,反驳了柏...
评分1.一般认为,关于因果关系的讨论是《人性论》及《人类理解研究》的核心议题,而我认为“关系”这个概念似乎更加基本。 2.后人在休谟对因果关系的质疑之中,连带出对归纳法的批评。 3.而休谟对因果性的考察贯穿《人性论》第一卷始末,在举证与反驳之间捍卫他的自然主义观点“自...
评分不太容易看,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。...
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。
