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

休谟家世背景优越，他自言道，他的家世不论在父系方面或母系方面都是名门。我父亲的家属是何谟伯爵，或休谟伯爵家属的一支；至于我的祖先们，则历代以来曾经领有过我兄弟所领有的那些产业。我的母亲是发尔康诺爵士的女儿（发尔康诺是民事最高法院的院长）. 对学者的批判. 他们...  

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...  

读书笔记5：人类理智研究 学生问，人生的意义是什么，老师回答，人生的意义就是你可以不断的问人生的意义是什么。 哲学家个个都是精神胜利法的高手，他们说即便你锦衣玉食，不懂的人生的意义，就是毫无意义。休谟则不同，他说，最完美的道德是在两个极端之间，对于书籍，社交和...  

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...  

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...

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。

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