David Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, first published in 1748, is a concise statement of Hume's central philosophical positions. It develops an account of human mental functioning which emphasizes the limits of human knowledge and the extent of our reliance on (non-rational) mental habits. It then applies that account to questions of free will and religious knowledge before closing with a defence of moderate scepticism. This volume, which presents a modified version of the definitive 1772 edition of the work, offers helpful annotation for the student reader, together with an introduction that sets this profoundly influential work in its philosophical and historical contexts. The volume also includes a selection of other works by Hume that throw light on both the circumstances of the work's genesis and its key themes and arguments.

When we go through libraries, convinced of these principles, what havoc must we make? If we take in our hand any volume - of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance - let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning about quantity or number? No. Does...
评分休谟的怀疑论完全以他否定归纳原理为依据,证明了纯粹经验主义不是科学的充足基础,归纳是一个独立的逻辑原理,是从经验或从其他逻辑原理都推论不出来的,没有这个原理,便不会有科学。 彻底的经验主义带来的两个推论 1,所有的知识都只具有一定限度内的确定性,世界并不如我们...
评分有些问题,我们可以不去了解,那不会影响我们的吃喝住行。但这些问题如果不去了解,人生到底还是会变得黯淡。太多的理所当然太多的习以为常,基于习惯和经验,人变得倨傲和自负。 于是休谟问题就震撼了整个世界。科学并不比迷信更加理性。当人类掌握更多的知识,不断推进理智...

评分这本书确实是一本很小的小册子,但正是这个小册子,造成了人类认知领域的一个革命。 这个小册子,可以认为是「人性论」的一个微缩读本。Hume把他很多思想的精髓部分完整的在这里面表达出来了。 Hume在这本书里面论述的东西非常完整,并且一以贯之。使用他最后总结的那句话来统...
