Meer over het boek

Focusing on the nature of human understanding, David Hume explores the similarities between human and animal cognition, particularly in inferring cause and effect. Published in 1748, this work revises his earlier Treatise of Human Nature, emphasizing the role of memory in shaping expectations based on past experiences. Hume argues that if his conclusions can be applied to animals, they possess a similar capacity for reasoning as humans. This inquiry delves into the foundations of knowledge and the mechanics of thought.
