Product Description
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.

博尔赫斯有一篇有名的短篇小说--《死亡与指南针》,里面说了这样一个戏剧性的故事:有个热衷推理的警长在12月3日发现了一起凶杀案,在凶案现场,警长把一部宗教意味浓厚的书跟一个字母作为重要线索,并登载在报纸上。巧的是,1月3日又发生了一起死亡事件,而且现场出现...
评分 评分康德虽然一直在三大批判中引用《人性论》作为反例,事实上康德却明显受到了休谟式经验主义的影响。就算康德承认道德先验也不能否认康德和休谟对伊壁鸠鲁式怀疑主义的共同质疑和对折中怀疑主义反省精神的推崇。这部书对我来说是一次非常难忘的阅读经历,休谟对因果认知来自经验...
评分一 休谟给自己写的自传中说,自己不喜欢学法律,也尝试了经商,但是毫无兴趣,唯一的热爱,在于思考哲学和一般学问。老王说,每个人一生都有一个主题。休谟就是哲学沉思,就像苏格拉底的探索知识,笛卡尔、康德和斯宾诺莎也是如此。或许我也是如此,因为我在别的很多工作或生活...
