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.

读后感

【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...  

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...  

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、...  

一 休谟给自己写的自传中说，自己不喜欢学法律，也尝试了经商，但是毫无兴趣，唯一的热爱，在于思考哲学和一般学问。老王说，每个人一生都有一个主题。休谟就是哲学沉思，就像苏格拉底的探索知识，笛卡尔、康德和斯宾诺莎也是如此。或许我也是如此，因为我在别的很多工作或生活...  

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...

用户评价

key words还是那几个，实力论证empiricism～反正读起来还算有趣>>

休谟太厉害了，休谟太厉害了，休谟太厉害了。重要的事情要说三遍。（虽然有一部分是在混沌中看过去的，但看明白的部分都让人有豁然开朗的感觉。）

Hume的writing style把人折磨死了。。

Hume 是个实诚人儿

A popular version of Book 1 of the Treatise, the arguments are clearer, and shorter~
