'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
吕大吉这个新译本是1999年出版的。估计是因为很多人都说原来关文运的译本很差，所以商务推出了这个新译本。但是很奇怪，新译本断货后，现在市面上重印的又变成关文运的旧译本了。搞不懂这是为什么。难道是新译本不如旧译本？估计不太会，因为否则的话，当初出新译本时商务...
評分他把怀疑论发展到怀疑任何人都不能确切地知道任何事的地步。休谟假设人类的知识只来自感觉而不是抽象的理性——“任何知识首先是感觉”——休谟认为我们无法确认这些事实是否与现实世界客观存在的事实相符。休谟形成极端的怀疑论之后，进而提出相对主义伦理哲学:如果我们不能确...
評分休谟的这本书我主要关心他如何考虑了人的知识形成。其他关于自由以及神迹部分不感兴趣。 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 考察对象 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 考虑两类研究对象：第一是观念的关系，第二是实际的事情。前者是纯粹靠人的思考就可以进行。最典型的是数...
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...

评分對於休謨來說，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.
