'Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.' Thus ends David Hume's Enquiry concerning Human Understanding, the definitive statement of the greatest philosopher in the English language. His arguments in support of reasoning from experience, and against the 'sophistry and illusion' of religiously inspired philosophical fantasies, caused controversy in the eighteenth century and are strikingly relevant today, when faith and science continue to clash. The Enquiry considers the origin and processes of human thought, reaching the stark conclusion that we can have no ultimate understanding of the physical world, or indeed our own minds. In either sphere we must depend on instinctive learning from experience, recognizing our animal nature and the limits of reason. Hume's calm and open-minded scepticism thus aims to provide a new basis for science, liberating us from the 'superstition' of false metaphysics and religion. His Enquiry remains one of the best introductions to the study of philosophy, and this edition places it in its historical and philosophical context. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

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，...
评分既然想知道hume’s account of induction是否force him to account of causation,那么我们首先必须看他的论证过程： 因为归纳法不能被理性证明，所以归纳不属于理性的职能。 因为我们关于matters of fact的一切知识都是归纳得来的 又我们关于matters of fact的一切知识...

评分对于休谟来说，几何学里清晰明白的证明，和日常生活中可疑的论断，在本质上并无区别：它们的“对错”只是取决于它们"vividness"的多少而已。而vividness归根结底只是一种感情。如此说来，人类不是理性的动物，而是感性的。Treatise里好像有这么一句: Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.
