Excerpt from Enquiries Concerning the Human Understanding: And Concerning the Principles of Morals

Moral philosophy, or the science of human nature, may be treated after two different manners; each of which has its peculiar merit, and may contribute to the entertainment, instruction, and reformation of mankind. The one considers man chiefly as born for action; and as influenced in his measures by taste and sentiment; pursuing one object, and avoiding another, according to the value which these objects seem to possess, and according to the light in which they present themselves. As virtue, of all objects, is allowed to be the most valuable, this species of philosophers paint her in the most amiable colours; borrowing all helps from poetry and eloquence, and treating their subject in an easy and obvious manner, and such as is best fitted to please the imagination, and engage the affections. They select the most striking observations and instances from common life; place opposite characters in a proper contrast; and alluring us into the paths of virtue by the views of glory and happiness, direct our steps in these paths by the soundest precepts and most illustrious examples. They make us feel the difference between vice and virtue; they excite and regulate our sentiments; and so they can but bend our hearts to the love of probity and true honour, they think, that they have fully attained the end of all their labours.

The other species of philosophers consider man in the light of a reasonable rather then an active being, and endeavour to form his understanding more than cultivate his manners.

Excerpt from Enquiries Concerning the Human Understanding: And Concerning the Principles of Morals

Were the generality of mankind contented to prefer the easy philosophy to the abstract and profound, without throw ing any blame or contempt on the latter, it might not be improper, perhaps, to comply with this general Opinion, and allow every man to enjoy, without Opposition, his own taste and sentiment. But as the matter is often carried farther, even to the absolute rejecting of all profound reasonings, or what is commonly called metaphysics, we shall now proceed to consider what can reasonably be pleaded in their behalf.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of human understanding, offering a comprehensive analysis of the powers and capacities of the human mind. The author argues that metaphysics and abstract philosophy are essential for understanding the operations of the mind, challenging the notion that they are merely abstract and impractical pursuits. By examining the distinction between ideas and impressions, the author provides a novel framework for understanding how we perceive and process information. The book also delves into the principles of association of ideas, revealing how our thoughts and experiences are connected and organized. Ultimately, the author emphasizes the importance of a rigorous examination of human understanding in order to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
