Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a book by the Scottish empiricist philosopher David Hume, a revision of an earlier effort, A Treatise of Human Nature. This book has proven highly influential, both in the years that would immediately follow and today. Immanuel Kant points to it as the book which woke him from his self-described dogmatic slumber. The Enquiry is widely regarded as a classic in modern philosophical literature.
