Controversial and widely debated since its publication, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a classic of empiricist philosophy whose questions remain as relevant today as ever. Philosopher David Hume was considered to be one of the most important figures in the age of Scottish enlightenment. In An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Hume discusses the weakness that humans have in their abilities to comprehend the world around them, what is referred to in the title as human understanding. Hume also discusses including the limits of human understanding, the compatibility of free will with determinism, weaknesses in the foundations of religion, and the appeal of skepticism. A major work in the empiricist school of thought that included John Locke and George Berkeley, Hume's work influenced such later authors as Adam Smith, Immanuel Kant, and Jeremy Bentham. A great introduction to the philosophy of David Hume, "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" and the ideas within it are as intriguing today as when they were first written.

Autorenporträt
David Hume (7 May 1711 NS - 25 August 1776) was a Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, student of history, economist, librarian, and writer. He is most popular for his profoundly persuasive philosophical empiricism, skepticism, and naturalism. argued against the presence of intrinsic thoughts, positing that all human information derives solely from experience. He studied philosophy at the College of Edinburgh at an abnormally early age of 12 or 13. Hume never wedded and resided partly at his Berwickshire home in Chirnside, which had a place with his family beginning around 1604. Hume's doctor determined him to have the "Sickness of the Learned" after he created scurvy and different maladies. He was secretary to General James St Clair, who was an emissary to Turin and Vienna. Hume wrote A Treatise of Human Nature in 1738 and The History of England in 1754. In 1745, during the Jacobite risings, Hume mentored the Marquess of Annandale (1720-92), an engagement that finished in confusion. He is viewed as one of the main philosophers to write in English. The David Hume Tower, a University of Edinburgh building, was renamed in a protest over his writing on race.
