Knowledge, experience, and the limits of reason
David Hume examines how experience shapes ideas and asks what grounds belief in cause and effect. The enquiry also considers induction, miracles, and the reach of human reason, connecting questions of everyday belief with broader problems in epistemology. First published in 1748, this work presents Hume’s empiricist and sceptical arguments in a shorter form than his earlier *A Treatise of Human Nature*. Its subjects place it at the intersection of Enlightenment philosophy, the study of knowledge, and debates about religious claims.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers studying empiricism, scepticism, or Enlightenment philosophy
- Those interested in epistemology, causation, and induction
- Readers exploring philosophical arguments about miracles and religion
