Published in 1751, Hume's "Essay Concerning Human Understanding" became so significant that it was said to have awakened Kant from his 'dogmatic slumbers'.
As an amendment of his earlier Doctrine "A Treatise of Human Nature" which sadly "fell dead-born to the press", Hume's "Essay" was instead a shorter and more analytical piece.
I hope my analysis proves helpful to anyone else struggling with the Scottish Empiricists philosophy...
