An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

Více o knize

David Hume, a prominent figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, is renowned for his philosophical contributions, particularly his system of empiricism, skepticism, and naturalism. His seminal work, A Treatise of Human Nature, aims to establish a comprehensive naturalistic science of humanity, focusing on the psychological underpinnings of human nature. Hume challenges rationalist views by asserting that human behavior is driven by passion rather than reason and contends that all knowledge arises from experience, rejecting the notion of innate ideas.
