His arguments in support of reasoning from experience, and against the "sophistry and illusion"of religiously inspired philosophical fantasies, caused controversy in the eighteenth century and are strikingly relevant today, when faith and science continue to clash. The Enquiry considers the origin and processes of human thought, reaching the stark conclusion that we can have no ultimate understanding of the physical world, or indeed our own minds. In either sphere we must depend on instinctive learning from experience, recognizing our animal nature and the limits of reason. Hume's calm and open-minded skepticism thus aims to provide a new basis for science, liberating us from the "superstition" of false metaphysics and religion. His Enquiry remains one of the best introductions to the study of philosophy, and his edition places it in its historical and philosophical context.

Review: Spectacular! - For years I have passed over Hume's work, but after reading An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding, I would like to urge all philosophically minded readers to not make the same mistake as I did. Hume's writing is as poetic as it is profound. His ideas are forceful, yet expressed with such gentle eloquence. I cannot stress enough how impressed I was with this book. Furthermore, the clarity and insight of Peter Millican's introduction and end notes did much to enhance my comprehension and fit this work into a larger context. Review: This is an excellent introduction to Hume's views - This is an excellent introduction to Hume's views, especially those that help one understand why why modern physics seems so unintelligible compared to classical physics.

Patterson ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #115,794 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #50 in Epistemology Philosophy #166 in Modern Western Philosophy #402 in Philosophy of Ethics & Morality | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 230 Reviews | ## Images ![An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding (Oxford World's Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Rfn50tZ6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spectacular! *by A***E on April 12, 2011* For years I have passed over Hume's work, but after reading An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding, I would like to urge all philosophically minded readers to not make the same mistake as I did.
