Introduction to Hume: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

An introduction to the thought of David Hume through An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. The text is a more accessible interpretation of his earlier work, a Treatise of Human Nature (volume one). Hume was the third of the British Empiricists, taking the thought of Locke and Berkley to its limits and attempting a scientific theory of mind. He was both a naturalist and a skeptic, laying out what has become known as the problem of induction. He also woke Kant from his ‘dogmatic slumber'.
