An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

More about the book

Exploring the nature of knowledge and causation, the author presents Hume's philosophy, which asserts that ideas stem from sensory experiences and are less vivid than the original impressions. Hume posits that causal connections are psychological habits rather than inherent truths, relying on probability and experience for validation. He challenges the notion of coincidence, suggesting that human actions follow regular patterns akin to natural laws, while the relationship between thought and action remains complex and intertwined.
