This edition contains David Hume's influential work An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding, intended to make his philosophy accessible to a European audience. It offers challenging views about the limited powers of human understanding and discusses the appeal of scepticism, the compatibility of free will and determinism, and critiques of religious foundations.
