Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding15 reviews
David Hume

Open Court Publishing

As Exciting and Thought-Provoking as Philosophy Gets
Hume, I and many others think, was the greatest philosopher to have written in English, and this is the book to pick up if you want to introduce yourself to Saint David's distinctive brand of classical empiricism. This is a must-read for anyone with even a passing interest in philosophy, and it's hard for me to see how anyone interested in the history of modern thought can avoid reading this ...
  
  











  



  
Extraordinary Circumstances: The Presidency of Gerald R. Ford4 reviews
David Hume Kennerly, Richard Norton Smith

Center for American History, University of Texas at Austin, 2007

Unprecedented Access + A Brilliant Eye = Extraordinary History Lesson
Aside from the stunning photography which I'll get to, this important book gave me new insights into a mostly overlooked Presidency. Kennerly documented the Ford Presidency and shows us the actual moments that some of the most significant decisions in American history were made- the Nixon pardon and leaving Vietnam to name two- thus revealing Ford as a true leader and rare politician willing to ...
  
  











  



  
Enquiries Concerning Human Understanding and Concerning the Principles of Morals4 reviews
David Hume

Oxford University Press, USA, 1975

A Classic Edition of Two Philosophical Masterworks
Hume's Enquiries are more or less a repackaging of the material from Books I and III of his earlier A Treatise of Human Nature. Ever desirous of literary fame and dismayed by the lack of interest others had shown for his prior tome, Hume went back to the drawing board and attempted to present his philosophical system in a way that would be palatable to the reading public. We should feel ...

Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion7 reviews

Neeland Media LLC, 2004

Does God exist?
David Hume, a philosopher of the period often classified as British Empiricism, is the intellectual associate of philosophers John Locke and George Berkeley. Born in Edinburgh in 1711, he attended the University of Edinburgh but did not graduate. He went to France during his 20s, and spent time there working on what would become his most famous work, 'An Enquiry into Human Understanding', first ...
  
  











  



  
Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion11 reviews
David Hume

IndyPublish.com, 2003

Is God Knowable By Reason?
David Hume made a reputation by writing on reason and its limits. The main thrust of the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is to question whether theological arguments for God that assign Him positive attributes (omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, etc.) go beyond reason's limits in assigning these attributes. We watch Cleanthes (believer in theological arguments), Demea (believer more ...
  
  











  



  
Photo Op: A Pulitzer Prize-Winning Photographer Covers Events That Shaped Our Times3 reviews
David Hume Kennerly

Univ of Texas Pr, 1995

great reading about talent, guts and brains
Having known David Kennerly since he was 24 on on his way to Viet Nam. I threw a party for him while passing through Chicago on his birthday. I bought many copies for gifts as I thought that highly of the book and especially for anyone interested in photography. I strongly recommend reading this for a statement in courage and tremedous enthusiasm and talent for his work. His Jonestown story, as ...
  
  











  



  
Be the Change! Change the World. Change Yourself.5 reviews
Hundreds of Heads

Hundreds of Heads Books, 2006

People can make a difference
I enjoyed reading this book because it helped me understand how regular people like me can make a difference in the world. Even small acts of giving will accumulate and improve the way things are. There are so many suggestions in the book that if everyone took just one, we'd see the difference. Sometimes I think you have to be a saint or a celebrity to influence people, but here's proof that ...
  
  











  



  
Dialogues and Natural History of Religion (Oxford World's Classics)9 reviews
David Hume

Oxford University Press, USA, 1999

Essential Philosophy in a Nice (and Cheap) Edition
This is a wonderful collection of Hume's most famous and influential writings on religion. Few books I've encountered include this much first-rate philosophy for the price, and so I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Hume's thinking about religion. It includes the section on miracles from Hume's Enquiry concerning the Principles of Morals and the full versions of both The ...
  
  











  



  
Selected Essays (Oxford World's Classics)5 reviews
David Hume

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Fine selection of essays by a great man
This comparatively short book consists of extremely well-selected essays by the great Scottish philosopher and historian, on everything from public credit to delicacy of taste. Also included are the different classes of philosphers, including the class Hume falls under, The Sceptic (Hume's sp.). There is also an exceedingly interesting essay on the populousness of the world in ancient times. ...
  
  











  



  
The philosophy of David Hume (The Modern library of the world's best books [340])1 review
David Hume

Modern Library, 1963

The greatest British empirical philosopher
Locke, Berkeley and then Hume. And Hume taking apart our common sense notion of causality, and making then the everyday world non- understandable in a new way. The sun does not necessarily have to come up tomorrow and the fact that the billiard ball rolls on the table after it has been struck by the cue is no proof that the striking is the cause. Hume in a very clear and convincing way makes us ...
  
  











  



  
An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding1 review
David Hume

Adamant Media Corporation, 2005

Hume at his best
David Hume was perhaps the leading light in the Empiricist movement in philosophy. Empiricism is seen in distinction from Rationalism, in that it doubts the viability of universal principles (rational or otherwise), and uses sense data as the basis of all knowledge - experience is the source of knowledge. Hume was a skeptic as well as empiricist, and had radical (for the time) atheist ideas that ...
  
  











  



  
Hume's Ethical Writings1 review
David Hume

University of Notre Dame Press, 1980

The Moral Philosophy of David Hume
Hume's Ethical Writings by Alasdair MacIntyre is an excellent read. I would highly recommend this volume to philosophy students who are studying Hume beyond the "Enquiry". Some knowledge of the religious writings of Hume should also serve as a prerequisite. For this I would recommend, Religious Writings of Hume by Anthony Flew, and Dialogues Concerning natural religion by David Hume, and Richard ...

"Towns of the Renaissance" is an exceptionally well-written memoir of visits made by the author to various Renaissance-era towns , cities, and villages in Italy. It's packed with colorful stories, descriptions of people and places, and experiences that bring these places alive, incorporating history, literature, and art as well as personal anecdotes. A pleasure to read, sometimes amusing and ...

Make Your Meetings Count!: How Storyboarding With Ideas Can Help Your Work Team Plan, Solve Problems, Make ...1 review
Durward Humes, Gary W. Thompson, ...

Kendall Hunt Pub Co, 1995

An excellent guide for enhancing team problem solving
This is a book about storyboarding. Unlike most other storyboarding books which cover only applications in the film and TV production world (essentially because of its origins from Walt Disney Studios), this one is geared primarily towards business/organisational problem solving - in a group or team setting. It's very well written and graphically illustrated, with a lot of real-world examples. ...
  
  











  



  
Shooter1 review
David Hume Kennerly

Newsweek Books, 1979

An outstanding book.
Anyone thinking of becoming a free lance Photographer should read this book. The problems that Mr. Kennerly has to overcome as a Photographer can be very edicational to the novice and the experiences he describes will hold the reader to the last page. There is also a generous amount of photographs to support the written word.
