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.

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、...
評分第一章、各派哲学(表述人性科学的主张) 这一章里,休谟分析了从事哲学事业的不同风格派别,其中他把精神哲学(Moral Philosophy)分为两种。 一种强调哲学对生活的影响,喜欢用哲学来指导生活,影响当世。(通俗派) 一种强调理性,强调思维达到极高的高度以使得后人受益。(...
評分有些问题,我们可以不去了解,那不会影响我们的吃喝住行。但这些问题如果不去了解,人生到底还是会变得黯淡。太多的理所当然太多的习以为常,基于习惯和经验,人变得倨傲和自负。 于是休谟问题就震撼了整个世界。科学并不比迷信更加理性。当人类掌握更多的知识,不断推进理智...

評分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Writing my thesis on the problem of induction. 一遍又一遍被Hume的ingenuity給亮瞎眼。考慮在房間設個Hume的牌位逢ddl前拜一拜..

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
评分"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)
