David Hume; An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (English Version) - Odyssee

Seminal work in the field of philosophy that explores the nature of human cognition and the limitations of knowledge. Hume challenges the certainty of knowledge derived from reason, arguing that our understanding of the world is fundamentally shaped by our experiences and the impressions they leave. He asserts that most of what we consider to be knowledge is based on habit or custom, rather than logical reasoning. This work introduces Hume's famous problem of induction, where he questions how we can justify the belief that the future will resemble the past, given that such assumptions rely on past experiences, which themselves are not guaranteed to continue in the same manner. Hume also delves into the distinction between impressions (vivid, immediate perceptions) and ideas (less forceful recollections or thoughts) and investigates how these concepts inform our understanding of causality, belief, and skepticism. Through a series of essays, Hume ultimately contends that while humans are capable of acquiring knowledge, it is always limited and subject to doubt, emphasizing a philosophy rooted in empiricism and a critical examination of the human mind's abilities.
