具体描述

David Hume's An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, first published in 1748, is a concise statement of Hume's central philosophical positions. It develops an account of human mental functioning which emphasizes the limits of human knowledge and the extent of our reliance on (non-rational) mental habits. It then applies that account to questions of free will and religious knowledge before closing with a defence of moderate scepticism. This volume, which presents a modified version of the definitive 1772 edition of the work, offers helpful annotation for the student reader, together with an introduction that sets this profoundly influential work in its philosophical and historical contexts. The volume also includes a selection of other works by Hume that throw light on both the circumstances of the work's genesis and its key themes and arguments.

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...

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...

David Hume是为数不多的写作水平不错阅读流畅思考的有意思的Early Modern Philosopher啊

Writing my thesis on the problem of induction. 一遍又一遍被Hume的ingenuity给亮瞎眼。考虑在房间设个Hume的牌位逢ddl前拜一拜..
