An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (with border)

We are tackling one of the classics for this meeting: David Hume and his An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. Published in 1748, it has profoundly influenced epistemological studies to this day. For the eighth, we’ll discuss the first half, through Section VII.

Since it is a classic and no longer in copyright, it can be downloaded for free from the internet from several sites, both in print and as an audio book. This includes Project Gutenberg, where it is available in several formats. If you do wish to purchase your own copy, you can find it for anywhere from a few dollars to almost fifty, depending on how much extra commentary you would like. Or you can wait until our meeting and we’ll commentary you until you can’t stand it anymore.
