Product Description
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...

評分博尔赫斯有一篇有名的短篇小说--《死亡与指南针》,里面说了这样一个戏剧性的故事:有个热衷推理的警长在12月3日发现了一起凶杀案,在凶案现场,警长把一部宗教意味浓厚的书跟一个字母作为重要线索,并登载在报纸上。巧的是,1月3日又发生了一起死亡事件,而且现场出现...

評分【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...
"Thus the observation of human blindness and weakness is the result of all philosophy, and meets us at every turn, in spite of our endeavours to elude or avoid it." (Hume, EHU, p. 33)
评分a stupendous philosophical book with insightful discussions of empirical epistemology on vital ideas like free will, miracles, the Design Argument, and mitigated scepticism, explaining skeptical doubts concerning the operations of the understanding, and building the framework of how modern people understand their knowledge and the way it's acquired

评分For Class, Hume's Philosophy of Religion. We can only learn from experience. A priori reasoning is wrong because we could make inferences from constant conjunctions of two similar objects
