The Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a shortened and simplified version of Hume's masterpiece A Treatise of Human Nature. It sought to reach a wider audience, and to dispel some of the virulent criticism addressed toward the former book. In it, Hume explains his theory of epistemology, and argues against other current theories, including those of John Locke, George Berkeley, and Nicolas Malebranche. (Summary by Kirsten Ferreri)

Philosophy is difficult business. You'll only be good at it if you're good at grammar, mathematics, logic, etc. It's possible that once the pains of labour strike you that you will be disheartened. But there is philosophy that is entertaining and fashionable( the kind mixed with metaphors. It's can be found across modern literature), for e.g. Nietzsche's works and so on. In English Hume, Hobbes, etc. are the best sorts of thinkers you can find( within modern philosophy. There are people who follow mediaeval philosophers and theologians, like St. Thomas, who also write in English). Otherwise you'd have to learn German or French. In ancient and mediaeval philosophy you have to learn Greek and Latin. You have to be good with grammar and you have to be good with pure maths in order to prove something ( in philosophy you gave to prove). Knowing logic obviously helps this kind of proof abd stuff.. In summary look for grammar, philology, linguistics, mathematics( pure, for e.g. Euclid's), logic( ancient logic or Aristolian logic or terminal; not the proposition logic or symbolic logic)

I like to put my reactions in the comments so I will reply to myself a lot here. :) 5:33 I had to google Addison but obviously I know Locke, so... not quite, David.

I used to think Hume was a modern (still living) philosopher because, when I heard his ideas, they seemed so reasonable and accomplished. But I've been reading a lot of philosophy lately and they all seem critical of Hume. I am listening to the intro and am like, "This seems to illustrate the is/ought problem," but then paused and looked it up... and yep... Hume came up with that in the first place!

Wow, why is Freud considered the father of psychology? This is just describing (or predicting) the field. Maybe that's why I thought I'd like Hume - I studied psych.

When I was a kid, I thought that the reason the brain had folds was because it was shaped like a spiral (or if you prefer Shrek, an onion with layers). In the core you have the subconscious (which is not the word I would use as a kid, but is the gist of what I was thinking about - personality, beliefs, knee-jerk reactions, etc), then what Hume is calling impressions, and on the outside, thoughts, eg mental voices/narrative. A lot of those weird assumptions and questions I had as a kid are mentioned in philosophy, which is probably why I like it. Like, I haven't seriously considered this in decades, but why did I stop asking those questions?

The color stuff (plus a brief presumably racist sentence he throws in) doesn't make much sense, because it's hard to imagine a man never having seen a color gradient, no ombre or even a rainbow. But I bet Hume would be intrigued at how different societies recognize different colors and are accordingly more or less cognizant of the subtle differences between them. Eg people in a country where the native language sees blue and green as the same color will be less likely to recognize teal as being very different from sea-green.

I still don't understand why philosophers seem to ALL acknowledge math as being inherently reasonable. I'm not saying that it's not, but beyond very basic counting being possibly something that most of us could teach ourselves as we grow, I can't imagine math being inherently understood. Maybe since this was before philosophy became a liberal arts discipline, none of these people grew up crying with frustration in math class, which I think is way more intuitive to the human psyche than anything by Euclid. (I'm joking, if only because I know that some places don't have mandatory math class. Even people who like math probably wouldn't claim to intuit algebra automatically.)
