Pagera Editor's Note
An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is David Hume's shorter recasting of the first book of his Treatise of Human Nature, first published in 1748 as Philosophical Essays Concerning Human Understanding. In twelve sections Hume traces ideas to impressions, argues that our inferences from cause to effect rest on custom rather than reason, and analyzes the idea of necessary connection. Further sections treat liberty and necessity, the reason of animals, miracles, providence and a future state, and the varieties of skepticism. The text follows the posthumous edition of 1777 as edited by L. A. Selby-Bigge.
