'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.

讀後感
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...
評分一 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...
評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，...
評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...
評分既然想知道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...

對於休謨來說，幾何學裏清晰明白的證明，和日常生活中可疑的論斷，在本質上並無區彆：它們的“對錯”隻是取決於它們"vividness"的多少而已。而vividness歸根結底隻是一種感情。如此說來，人類不是理性的動物，而是感性的。Treatise裏好像有這麼一句: 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.
