Philosophical essays concerning human understanding
"Over a series of elegantly written, engaging essays, the Enquiry examines the experiential and psychological sources of meaning and knowledge, the foundations of reasoning about matters that lie beyond the scope of our sensory experience and memory, the nature of belief, and the limitations of our knowledge. The positions Hume takes on these topics have been described as paradigmatically…

"Crois-tu qu'une ville serait bien gouvernée, si la loi ordonnait à chacun de tisser et de laver son vêtement, de tisser ses chaussures, sa burette à huile, son étrille et le tout le reste de même, sans mettre la main aux affaires d'autrui..."

The Theaetetus, like the Parmenides, has points of similarity both with his earlier and his later writings. The perfection of style, the humour, the dramatic interest, the complexity of structure, the fertility of illustration, the shifting of the…

The Problems of Philosophy
