olliehogg 's review for:
An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
by David Hume
Despite not really being able to see the actual applicability of Humean philosophy, it is so very refreshing to read such clarity in a philosophical text. He writes with precision and, although still being tough to manage at times, ultimately this renders his meaning crystal clear.
His tight epistemological approach gives his arguments depth and precision, which is monumentally handy for the inexperienced philosopher (as I myself was upon first reading, and still am to an extent). I was taught this as an A2 text by a devout believer in Humean philosophy, and so I might be slightly biased, but I still believe this to be one of the clearest texts I have ever read.
