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.

读后感

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...  

得到听书: 他通过自己的实验哲学方法，得出的这些彻底的经验主义结论，非常令人惊讶，也产生了非常深远的影响。休谟还用他的这套经验主义，考察了很多重要的哲学和神学概念，比如自由、理性、道德、上帝、奇迹等等。他的这些考察，每一个都极大地挑战了长久以来在哲学史占据显...  

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...  

康德虽然一直在三大批判中引用《人性论》作为反例，事实上康德却明显受到了休谟式经验主义的影响。就算康德承认道德先验也不能否认康德和休谟对伊壁鸠鲁式怀疑主义的共同质疑和对折中怀疑主义反省精神的推崇。这部书对我来说是一次非常难忘的阅读经历，休谟对因果认知来自经验...  

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...

For Class, Hume's Philosophy of Religion. We can only learn from experience. A priori reasoning is wrong because we could make inferences from constant conjunctions of two similar objects

三观没有问题，还有点萌萌哒。

a stupendous philosophical book with insightful discussions of empirical epistemology on vital ideas like free will, miracles, the Design Argument, and mitigated scepticism, explaining skeptical doubts concerning the operations of the understanding, and building the framework of how modern people understand their knowledge and the way it's acquired

"Thus the observation of human blindness and weakness is the result of all philosophy, and meets us at every turn, in spite of our endeavours to elude or avoid it." (Hume, EHU, p. 33)
