ostrava 's review for:
An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
by David Hume
Who would have thought - Hume was a good writer. The first chapter in particular is its own little masterpiece and worth a read on its own if one is interested in matters of philosophy or philosophers.
The rest gets the job done. I tend to lose interest in these sorts of books towards the end (the Enquiry being no exception). I guess by the time the argument becomes clear to me, the “accessory” musings stop being of my liking and turn into a bit of a boring ramble. But Hume is immensely quotable, so it’s okay…
Oh, and his philosophy is interesting too I guess…
