'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.

读后感
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【按语：发表于1748年的《人类理解研究》是休谟改写《人性论》的第一部分的结果。思想较为简洁：知觉有印象以及观念（印象的摹本）两种；事实的推论都基于因果关系，而因果关系仅仅是基于经验的习惯。深入分析必然性（necessity）观念，发现这不过是经验到的物象的恒常会合（co...
评分Section I ： ——of the different species of philosophy 1.对“人性”的两种研究方式： “道德哲学（moral philosophy）”是关于人性的科学，其研究对象是人性（human nature），它在休谟的时代里泛指一切由人的原因引起的事情，如人的思想、行为和性格等。【在此“道德的...
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、...

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.
