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

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...  

【按语：发表于1748年的《人类理解研究》是休谟改写《人性论》的第一部分的结果。思想较为简洁：知觉有印象以及观念（印象的摹本）两种；事实的推论都基于因果关系，而因果关系仅仅是基于经验的习惯。深入分析必然性（necessity）观念，发现这不过是经验到的物象的恒常会合（co...

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...  

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...
