An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

""An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding"" is a philosophical work written by Scottish philosopher David Hume. The book explores the nature of human understanding and the limitations of our knowledge. Hume argues that all knowledge is based on experience and that there is no innate knowledge or ideas. He also examines the concept of causation and argues that we cannot know for certain that one event causes another. Hume's ideas have had a significant impact on the development of philosophy and continue to be studied and debated today. The book is written in a clear and accessible style and is considered one of Hume's most important works.Extracted from: Enquiries Concerning the Human Understanding, and Concerning the Principles of Morals, By David Hume.
