An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a novel by the Scottish empiricist philosopher David Hume, published in 1748. It was a revision of an earlier effort, Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, published anonymously in London in 1739–40. Hume was disappointed with the reception of the Treatise, which "fell dead-born from the press," as he put it, and so tried again to disseminate his more developed ideas to the public by writing a shorter and more polemical work.
This edition has been formatted for your reader, with an active table of contents. It has also been annotated, with extensive additional information about the book and its author, including an overview, outline, philosophy, critiques, biographical and bibliographical information.
