An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a book by the Scottish empiricist philosopher David Hume, published in 1748.

Hume was disappointed with the reception of the Treatise, which " fell stillborn 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.

After expounding his epistemology, Hume explains how to apply his principles to specific topics.

In the first section of the Enquiry, Hume provides a rough introduction to philosophy as a whole.

Next, Hume discusses the distinction between impressions and ideas.

According to Hume, the difference between the two is that ideas are less vivacious than impressions.

Hume accepts that ideas may be either the product of mere sensation, or of the imagination working in conjunction with sensation.

According to Hume, the creative faculty makes use of ( at least ) four mental operations which produce imaginings out of sense-impressions.

( Hume 1974: 317 ) In a later chapter, he also mentions the operations of mixing, separating, and dividing.

( Hume 1974: 340 ) Fig.

This seems to pose a serious problem for the empirical account, though Hume brushes it aside as an exceptional case by stating that one may experience a novel idea that itself is derived from combinations of previous impressions.

In this chapter, Hume discusses how thoughts tend to come in sequences, as in trains of thought.

In the first part, Hume discusses how the objects of inquiry are either " relations of ideas " or " matters of fact ", which is roughly the distinction between analytic and synthetic propositions.

( Hume 1974: 322 ) In explaining how matters of fact are entirely a product of experience, he dismisses the notion that they may be arrived at through a priori reasoning.

For Hume, every effect only follows its cause arbitrarily — they are entirely distinct from one another.

( Hume 1974: 330-332 ) Here he is describing what would become known as the problem of induction.

For Hume, we assume that experience tells us something about the world because of habit or custom, which human nature forces us to take seriously.

By " necessary connection ", Hume means the power or force which necessarily ties one idea to another.

Unlike his predecessors, Berkeley and Locke, Hume rejects the idea that volitions or impulses of the will may be inferred to necessarily connect to the actions they produce by way of some sense of the power of the will.

( Hume 1974: 353-354 ) He produces like arguments against the notion that we have knowledge of these powers as they affect the mind alone.

( Hume 1974: 355-356 ) He also argues in brief against the idea that causes are mere occasions of the will of some god ( s ), a view associated with the philosopher Nicolas Malebranche.

Hume believes that all disputes on the subject have been merely verbal arguments — that is to say, arguments which are based on a lack of prior agreement on definitions.
