具体描述

Oxford Philosophical Texts Series Editor: John Cottingham The Oxford Philosophical Texts series consists of authoritative teaching editions of canonical texts in the history of philosophy from the ancient world down to modern times. Each volume provides a clear, well laid out text together with a comprehensive introduction by a leading specialist, giving the student detailed critical guidance on the intellectual context of the work and the structure and philosophical importance of the main arguments. Endnotes are supplied which provide further commentary on the arguments and explain unfamiliar references and terminology, and a full bibliography and index are also included. The series aims to build up a definitive corpus of key texts in the Western philosophical tradition, which will form a reliable and enduring resource for students and teachers alike. David Hume's aim in writing An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding (1748) was to introduce his philosophy to a European culture in which many educated people read original works of philosophy. He gives an elegant and accessible presentation of strikingly original and challenging views about the limited powers of human understanding, the attractions of scepticism, the compatibility of free will and determinism, and weaknesses in the foundations of religion. Hume's philosophy was highly controversial in the eighteenth century and remains so today. The text printed in this edition is that of the Clarendon critical edition of Hume's works. A substantial introduction by the editor explains the intellectual background to the work and surveys its main themes. The volume also includes detailed explanatory notes on the text, a glossary of terms, a full list of references, and a section of supplementary readings.

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...  

【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...

Hume 是个实诚人儿

Hume 是个实诚人儿

两年前说，想要一间小屋，一张舒服的床，一套休谟，一只猫。现在都有了，但越发不知如何是好。代人立言本属僭妄，发微索隐更是不得定见，御人以口给，便争执无休，至于爬梳故纸，兀兀穷年，鲜能有益于学，遑论有益于人。唯有于四顾茫然之中，且尽杯中物。
