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.

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...
评分既然想知道hume’s account of induction是否force him to account of causation,那么我们首先必须看他的论证过程: 因为归纳法不能被理性证明,所以归纳不属于理性的职能。 因为我们关于matters of fact的一切知识都是归纳得来的 又我们关于matters of fact的一切知识...
评分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...
评分休谟问题的最大贡献,就在于给哲学和自然科学提出了最具基础性的问题,因为他所质疑的,是知识大厦之所以能够伫立的最基础的地基。或许这个问题本身就是无解的,就像每个哲学家都在思考的“哲学是什么”或“人是什么”一样,答案永远没有找到的一天,对于地基的撼动似乎并没有...

评分Writing my thesis on the problem of induction. 一遍又一遍被Hume的ingenuity给亮瞎眼。考虑在房间设个Hume的牌位逢ddl前拜一拜..
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)
