An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is an important 18th century work by Scottish empiricist and philosopher David Hume. As a follow up and attempt to simplify his earlier effort in A Treatise of Human Nature, Hume works to introduce his philosophical concepts to a more well-educated European readership. In this work Hume discusses the limited powers of human understanding, the role of free will in consideration with determinism and the weak foundation of religion. An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is highly recommened for those who are interested in major philosophical writings and those who are interested in the writings of David Hume.

This review is from: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (Paperback)
David Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is outstanding. Hume is brilliant. His writing is, at times, as he enunciates what seems to be common sense several hundred years later, leads to my finding it very dry at times. It is, nevertheless, one of the key writings that the American founding fathers adopted and incorporated into our new republic. As a masterpiece of those times, I give it an A+. As a book read in the 21st century, I give this an A-. It can be a tough read at times, but it is well worthwhile.
