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.

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When we go through libraries, convinced of these principles, what havoc must we make? If we take in our hand any volume - of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance - let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning about quantity or number? No. Does...
评分初秋时去登山。青葱的山林中,一脉山涧顺势而下。我毫不怀疑这股清流将会绵延直至山脚,也坚信在不远的顶峰将会有这样的一个源头,活水不绝。即使在登顶之后,仍未见源头的一丝踪影,我关于源头的信念却不曾有丝毫的改变。 人类科学知识的进步何尝不像一条河流?基于环环相扣的...
评分 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、...
