Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding To this reprint of Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding has been added a supplement containing se lections from his earlier and longer philosophical work, the Treatise on Human Understanding, referred to in the Author's Advertisement to 'the Enquiry (page xxvm., this edition). In spite of Hume's deprecatory reference to the Treatise, it remains the completest expression of his philosophical doctrine. The selected portions of the Treatise comprise (i) certain sections on causality which amplify the causal doctrine of the Enquiry and may profit ably be read after Section VII. Of the latter work; and (2) those sections which embody the essential features of Hume's constructive philosophy, his conception of matter and of self of spirit. Nothing in the Enquiry, with the exception of a few paragraphs of Section XII., corresponds to these sections of the Treatise. They should be read before or in place of, the comparatively irrelevant sections, IX-XI., of the Enquiry.

Download or read book An Analysis of David Hume s An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding written by Michael O'Sullivan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Hume’s 1748 Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a modern philosophical classic that helped reshape epistemology – the philosophy of knowledge. It is also a classic of the critical thinking skills of analysis and reasoning. Analysis is all about understanding how arguments work and fit together. Having strong analytical skills helps to break down arguments, pull out the evidence on which they rely, and understand the kinds of implicit assumptions and reasons on which they work. Reasoning, meanwhile, means building and presenting arguments, forming well-structured, evidenced, and organised cases for a particular point of view. Hume applied his analytical skills to arguments about how humans know and understand the world, and how our minds work. At base, he was trying to analyse human reason itself – to show the workings and limitations of the human mind, and show the origins of our beliefs. Hume went on to apply his reasoning skills, creating an enduring argument about the nature of human knowledge. The result was one of the most striking and famous works in the history of philosophy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Enquiries Concerning the Human Understanding: And Concerning the Principles of Morals Were the generality of mankind contented to prefer the easy philosophy to the abstract and profound, without throw ing any blame or contempt on the latter, it might not be improper, perhaps, to comply with this general Opinion, and allow every man to enjoy, without Opposition, his own taste and sentiment. But as the matter is often carried farther, even to the absolute rejecting of all profound reasonings, or what is commonly called metaphysics, we shall now proceed to consider what can reasonably be pleaded in their behalf.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Classic Philosophical Literature By David Hume An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a book by the Scottish empiricist philosopher David Hume, published in 1748. It was a revision of an earlier effort, Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, published anonymously in London in 1739–40. Hume was disappointed with the reception of the Treatise, which "fell dead-born from the press," as he put it, and so tried again to disseminate his more developed ideas to the public by writing a shorter and more polemical work. The end product of his labours was the Enquiry. The Enquiry dispensed with much of the material from the Treatise, in favor of clarifying and emphasizing its most important aspects. For example, Hume's views on personal identity do not appear. However, more vital propositions, such as Hume's argument for the role of habit in a theory of knowledge, are retained. This book has proven highly influential, both in the years that would immediately follow and today. Immanuel Kant points to it as the book which woke him from his self-described "dogmatic slumber". The Enquiry is widely regarded as a classic in modern philosophical literature.

This book was released on 2018-04 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disappointed by the public reception to "A Treatise of Human Nature," published anonymously between 1739 and 1740, David Hume decided to produce a shorter more polemic version of that work nearly ten years later. That revision, which was published in 1748, would be entitled "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding." Dispensing with much of the extraneous material from the "Treatise," Hume focuses on his more vital propositions in the "Enquiry." Proceeding in incremental steps Hume discusses the following concepts: "The Different Species of Philosophy," "The Origin of Ideas," "The Association of Ideas," "Sceptical Doubts Concerning the Operations of the Understanding," "Sceptical Solution of These Doubts," "Probability," "The Idea of Necessary Connection," "Liberty and Necessity," "The Reason of Animals," "Miracles," "Of a Particular Providence and of a Future State," and "The Academical or Sceptical Philosophy." Widely considered a classic of modern philosophical literature, "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" is Hume's theory of knowledge which would influence thinkers both in his time and for generations to come.

This book contains revisions of the main points of the book Treatise on Human Nature also works by David Hume (although published anonymously in London between 1739-1740). Hume was demoralized by the poor reception of the Treaty, which in his words "was born dead from the printing press", and therefore tried again to spread his ideas to the public and for this he wrote a shorter and more controversial book. The result of their efforts was Research. In the Investigation it eliminated much of the material of the Treaty, to clarify and emphasize its most important aspects. For example, Hume's views on personal identity have been removed.However, other more important propositions, such as Hume's stance regarding the role of habit for a theory of knowledge, were preserved. This book has had a great influence, both at the time of publication and today. Immanuel Kant identifies him as the book that woke him from his self-styled "dogmatic dream." Research is widely considered a classic in modern philosophical literature.
