An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (Annotated)

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment. An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume. David Hume (Edinburgh, May 7, 1711-ibid, August 25, 1776) was a Scottish philosopher, economist, and historian. He is one of the most important figures in Western philosophy and in the Scottish Enlightenment. Hume asserts that all knowledge ultimately derives from sensible experience. His main works are: Treatise on Human Nature (1739) and Research on Human Understanding (1748). Hume was strongly influenced by the empiricists John Locke and George Berkeley, as well as by several French writers such as Descartes, Malebranche and Pierre Bayle, and some figures on the English-speaking intellectual scene such as Isaac Newton, Samuel Clarke, Francis Hutcheson and Joseph Butler.
