David hume (1711-76) devoted himself from early youth to 'philosophy and great learning'. A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40) was not well received on publication, but is now viewed as his masterpiece.
Ernest Campbell Mossner is the author of many books on Hume. He has received fellowships from Columbia, Guggenheim and Fulbright, and has held the post of Professor of English and Philosophy at the University of Texas.
One of the most significant works of Western philosophy, Hume's Treatise was published in 1739-40, before he was thirty years old. A pinnacle of English empiricism, it is a comprehensive attempt to apply scientific methods of observation to a study of human nature, and a vigorous attack upon the principles of traditional metaphysical thought. With masterly eloquence, Hume denies the immortality of the soul and the reality of space; considers the manner in which we form concepts of identity, cause and effect; and speculates upon the nature of freedom, virtue and emotion. Opposed both to metaphysics and to rationalism, Hume's philosophy of informed scepticism sees man not as a religious creation, nor as a machine, but as a creature dominated by sentiment, passion and appetite.

休謨與現代哲學傢不同,寫作《人性論》時,用描述性語言,而非下定義方式闡述(現代哲學論著恰恰如此),文中充滿不嚴謹,不確定,而這與他本人的哲學觀點又相符的。 但是令人驚奇的是,他的描述讓人覺得準確,恰如其分。 這是否由於語言本身的不嚴謹、不完備,反而抵消瞭文...
評分導論即錶示一切自然科學都是基於人的學科。因此將研究直指人之本身,即休謨的人性。而休謨認為這種認識人性的基礎為經驗和觀察。 一捲,論知性。 一章論觀念。知覺被休謨分為印象和觀念,區彆在於刺激心靈的強烈程度,但全部觀念在初齣現時都是來自簡單印象(經驗論,反駁瞭柏...

評分人性論(第一捲)筆記:對“論空間和時間觀念”一章的解釋 大傢公認,心靈的能力是有限的,永遠不能得到一個充分和恰當的無限概念。凡是無限可分割的東西必然含有無數的部分。如果可分割的東西用有限和特定的數目作部分,則該對象分割的過程就不可能無限進行下去,如此,無限...

休謨的Ideas are copied from impressions, 怎麼解釋數學呢,can all our mathematical ideas be traced to the original impressions?休謨區分瞭relations of ideas和matters of fact, 是不是說前者的ideas可以不需要印象呢?——the mere operation of thought. 還是說,觀念與印象的這種關係,隻是「簡單的(simple)」觀念和印象之間,並不是所有;而數學上的簡單觀念(比如數字1、2、3這些觀念)需要其對應的印象(有三個石頭),但隨著推理的進行(到瞭十億),就不需要印象瞭(不需要實際經曆到十億個石頭)?艾耶爾談到休謨並不關心數學,而是事實
