One of the most significant works of Western philosophy, Hume's Treatise was published in 1739-40, before he was thirty years old. A pinnacle of English empiricism, it is a comprehensive attempt to apply scientific methods of observation to a study of human nature, and a vigorous attack upon the principles of traditional metaphysical thought. With masterly eloquence, Hume denies the immortality of the soul and the reality of space; considers the manner in which we form concepts of identity, cause and effect; and speculates upon the nature of freedom, virtue and emotion. Opposed both to metaphysics and to rationalism, Hume's philosophy of informed scepticism sees man not as a religious creation, nor as a machine, but as a creature dominated by sentiment, passion and appetite.
David hume (1711-76) devoted himself from early youth to 'philosophy and great learning'. A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40) was not well received on publication, but is now viewed as his masterpiece.
Ernest Campbell Mossner is the author of many books on Hume. He has received fellowships from Columbia, Guggenheim and Fulbright, and has held the post of Professor of English and Philosophy at the University of Texas.
第二卷 论情感 作者在这一章中,首先分析了骄傲和谦卑的动机。他认为这两种对立的情感,其对象都是自我,而原因则多种多样。任何与自己相关的观念,例如见识、学问、智慧等,美貌、体态,家庭、国家、财产等,都可以引起骄傲或谦卑。 接着,作者进一步说明人的每一种感情都不...
评分不太容易看,不是那种能划出中心句的写法。枝杈和主线平铺着,有时候要反驳的作为靶子的观点也论证很久简直要被说服了。后来有些地方就没有跟着细抠了。觉得休谟这个人非常可爱,因为快乐乐观自然而然地善良的感觉。又像个爱钻牛角尖的理科男同学,越说越觉得自己太有道理啦。...
评分我的高中从前是个师范学院,建在市郊的山谷里。 一名郊区寄宿狗的生活,是城里年轻人完全想象不到的。他们放学就去杀War3,Wow,女生就相邀去逛街。 我们只能上山抓刺猬。 刺猬抓不着,或着橘子还没熟不能去偷的时节,去学校的图书室也可以打发时间。里面还颇有一些远古邪恶的...

评分休谟与现代哲学家不同,写作《人性论》时,用描述性语言,而非下定义方式阐述(现代哲学论著恰恰如此),文中充满不严谨,不确定,而这与他本人的哲学观点又相符的。 但是令人惊奇的是,他的描述让人觉得准确,恰如其分。 这是否由于语言本身的不严谨、不完备,反而抵消了文...
读的excerts
评分很诚实
评分休谟的Ideas are copied from impressions, 怎么解释数学呢,can all our mathematical ideas be traced to the original impressions?休谟区分了relations of ideas和matters of fact, 是不是说前者的ideas可以不需要印象呢?——the mere operation of thought. 还是说,观念与印象的这种关系,只是「简单的(simple)」观念和印象之间,并不是所有;而数学上的简单观念(比如数字1、2、3这些观念)需要其对应的印象(有三个石头),但随着推理的进行(到了十亿),就不需要印象了(不需要实际经历到十亿个石头)?艾耶尔谈到休谟并不关心数学,而是事实
评分Reason is and ought only to be a slave to the passions.
评分仅第二卷和一部分第三卷。教之前搞得很紧张,生怕被问各种答不出来的问题。后来发现真是多虑了:同学们由于一头雾水于是甚至都不知道该问什么。
