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.

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...
评分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...
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、...
评分一直告诫自己莫要“以己之混混而令人之昭昭”,很少推荐书。但是今天读完大卫.休谟的《人类理智研究》,真心觉得是本好书。虽然是本哲学著作,但是休谟本人优美畅达(限于吕大吉的译本)的文辞,深入浅出,阅读中一点也不觉得他是在说很枯燥的哲学问题。我觉得大学生无论文理,...
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
