apr 9, 1748 - An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding - David Hume

Description:

This book has proven highly influential, both in the years that would immediately follow and today. Immanuel Kant points to it as the book which woke him from his self-described "dogmatic slumber."[3] The Enquiry is widely regarded as a classic in modern philosophical literature.
The argument of the Enquiry proceeds by a series of incremental steps, separated into chapters which logically succeed one another. After expounding his epistemology, Hume explains how to apply his principles to specific topics.
