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.

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...  

有人说，休谟主要的贡献在于对因果关系和归纳法的怀疑上，对于人性的理论就显得平淡无奇。这里无非是指观念和印象的划分。其实，全书是一个逻辑严密的演绎体系，而观念与印象的划分起到的就是笛卡尔“我思故我在”的逻辑起点的作用。 即使在心理学积淀空前丰富的今天，...  

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...
