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.

不太容易看,不是那種能劃齣中心句的寫法。枝杈和主綫平鋪著,有時候要反駁的作為靶子的觀點也論證很久簡直要被說服瞭。後來有些地方就沒有跟著細摳瞭。覺得休謨這個人非常可愛,因為快樂樂觀自然而然地善良的感覺。又像個愛鑽牛角尖的理科男同學,越說越覺得自己太有道理啦。...
評分【按語:休謨(David Hume,1711-1776)的《人性論:在精神科學中采用實驗推理方法的一個嘗試(a treatise of human nature:Being an attempt to introduce the experimental method of reasoning into moral subjects,1739-40)》(下)的基本思想或許可以簡單描述如下: ...
評分簡單地說《純粹理性批判》是康德企圖對抗休謨的經驗主義與懷疑主義的嘗試,這涉及邏輯學的一個古老的傳統,即“分析判斷”與“綜閤判斷”的區分,分析判斷主要指不需要通過經驗進行驗證的命題(比如說單身男性就是沒有結婚的男性,等等),這一區彆可以追溯迴萊布尼茨,而休謨...
評分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《人性論》(第一捲)筆記:對“論觀念”一章的解釋 《人性論》第一捲是關於認識論的,分為四章。第一章“論觀念、它們的起源、組閤、抽象、聯係等”和第二章“論空間和時間觀念”主要討論瞭觀念的起源、分類和性質。第三章“論知識和概然判斷”專門討論瞭或然性知識,即因果...

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

評分僅第二捲和一部分第三捲。教之前搞得很緊張,生怕被問各種答不齣來的問題。後來發現真是多慮瞭:同學們由於一頭霧水於是甚至都不知道該問什麼。
