‘An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding’ is a book by David Hume created as a revision of an earlier work, Hume’s ‘A Treatise of Human Nature’. The argument of the Enquiry proceeds by a series of incremental steps, separated into chapters which logically succeed one another. After expounding his epistemology, Hume explains how to apply his principles to specific topics. 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.’
