"This book is perhaps the most sophisticated book on philosophy that has ever been published. In its core it touches on psychology, physics, and the physiology of the brain, biological claims to survival, and then some. This book portrays the science of philosophy.
As I go through my career, references to Hume come up in my thoughts. As I read psychology books, physics books, and such, references to Hume come up in my thoughts. Connections to Hume are everywhere. No other author has been so much on the forefront of the mind than David Hume and his genius explanation of being.
We are survivors in a world that demands we find connections in order to survive and keep our understanding of the world. The conclusions that we draw, our reality is a manifestation of our search for order and making sense from our experience and what we trust. Our experience is basically all that we are and all that we will ever be. Everything is given to trust and what we trust is what we choose to in our search for meaning. What is given to us in our senses is everything we have ever been or can be. As I teach my students in math and life; we are pattern making machines. Hume is the epitomy of this. You come away from An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding realizing both lonliness and feelings of oneness with others.
This is Hume in a nutshell.
Must read for anyone who is alive and experiences any facet of their senses; i.e., everyone."
"I'm not gonna let myself get bogged down reviewing all the philosophy books I read back in the day, because I know nobody cares except Spencer.
But I will say this. David Hume is the only one of the philosophical "big dogs" who is also a very good, very readable, writer. He's also very persuasive. I think I probably still believe the vast majority of the things that Hume persuaded me of when I first read this, ever so carefully, in the Main Stacks."
