A landmark of Enlightenment thought, Hume's An Enquiry Concerning
Human Understanding is accompanied here by two shorter works that
shed light on it: A Letter from a Gentleman to His Friend in
Edinburgh , Hume's response to those accusing him of atheism, of
advocating extreme skepticism, and of undermining the foundations
of morality; and his Abstract of A Treatise of Human Nature , which
anticipates discussions developed in the Enquiry . In his concise
Introduction, Eric Steinberg explores the conditions that led Hume
to write the Enquiry and the work's important relationship to Book
I of Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature .
