An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): and Selections from A Treatise of Human Nature: And Selections from A Treatise of Human Nature

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading. An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is the thesis of a thinker who was a scientist, psychologist, metaphysician, and skeptic who continues to fascinate contemporary minds. The product of both youthful fire and mature consideration, the Enquiry, "contain[s] everything of Consequence relating to the understanding." In the face of skepticism, the Enquiry offered progress based on experience. In a time of dogmatism, the Enquiry dissected the basis of religious faith and delivered a still-powerful critique. It endeavors to be nothing less than the construction of an anatomy of human nature.
