Extractions: This is a superb edition of one of the basic works in Western philosophy. Designed to be used by both casual and serious students of philosophy, this edition contains the text of Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (EHU) and a series of other sections that provide background and further directions for studying Hume. Included are an excellent precis of the EHU, a first rate annotated bibliography concerning works by and about Hume, considerable background material on Hume, and excellent notes to the text of the EHU. The EHU is a concise and charmingly written presentation of Hume's views of the nature and particularly the limitations of human knowledge. The EHU presents Humes basic concepts of human thought, human pattern recognition, and then proceeds to Hume's revolutionary analysis of the problem of induction. Hume exposes our limitations in establishing certain cause and effect relations. Hume's analysis of this problem and its corollaries leads to ultimate skepticism about our ability to know the external world with certainty and undermines much of the basis for religion. Hume presents his ideas in an attractive style that owes much to famous 18th century essayists like Addison.

Extractions: As with all philosophy, it is full of sytange and intrique ideas that you really cant prove or disprove. The way I think of the argument is that reality is like a video game or dream. We all "know" that the an object such as a table doesnt really "exist" in a video game. Its only a perception. We we turn off the video game or wake up from a dream, the table is no longer percieved, so it no longer "exists" in external reality. So in reality, how does a table continue to exist when we leave the room(no longer perceive it)? You cant really prove it does ever exist when your not percieving it. Berkeley thinks that it continues to exist as an idea in the mind of God. This God is all-knowing and everywhere at all times. He maintains the constancy of reality. In my opinion, this is a very strong theistic argument.

Extractions: Reading philosophical texts should only be a down and dirty, fast and furious enterprise if want to get out of them what you might get from reading the latest Stephen King thriller on the beach during a vacation: a chance to be entertained for a few hours, but not getting more mentally taxed than that. If you want to get more out of the texts in this classand trust me, they are not going to serve up their secrets like Stephen King does a good scareyou will have to take a different attitude toward these texts than you would while reading fiction on the beach. To read a philosophical text in an informed, charitable and yet critical way, you will have to engage the text as you would a smart friend over a dinner that goes late into the night. First, you have to be informed about the way the actual, black and white text handles the issues it raises. Second, you have to be charitable towards the claims and arguments the author raises in his or her text. Third, you have to be critical about the claims and arguments the author raises in his or her text, demanding that the arguments go beyond first impressions and hackneyed expressions to develop his or her point in a reasonable way. Now that I've set up three requirements for engaging philosophical texts, just what do I mean by each of them?

This page will link you to electronic texts of some of the great philosophers of the seventeenth and eighteenth century. There used to be a search engine installed on this web site which would have allowed you to effectively search these texts for whatever treasure you might be seeking but the search engine is gone. The University decided for various reasons they would not support it any more, nor could they find a replacement for it. So, if you want to search these texts, you are going to have to make do with the search engine in your web browser. To do this, open the electronic text you are interested in searching. Then go to Edit on your browser's tool bar, and choose Find from the pulldown Edit menu. You can then type in a term and the browser will search for it. Unfortunately the browser does this instance by instance, rather than producing a page of hits with links. So you may have to do this repeatedly. It is not very good, but it is all we have at the moment. Italian Philosophers
