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...
评分休谟,经验主义的集大成者。本书论证了经验的重要性,不会生涩难懂,却有点无聊。 摘了几点笔记出来: 1、经验是观念的根源: 一切观念来源于知觉。当你在寻找原因的道路上无限溯源,最终一定停在某个事实上,这个事实是呈现你的记忆或感官上的,它完全没有根据可以追溯。 2、...
评分一直告诫自己莫要“以己之混混而令人之昭昭”,很少推荐书。但是今天读完大卫.休谟的《人类理智研究》,真心觉得是本好书。虽然是本哲学著作,但是休谟本人优美畅达(限于吕大吉的译本)的文辞,深入浅出,阅读中一点也不觉得他是在说很枯燥的哲学问题。我觉得大学生无论文理,...

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...
