Summary

In "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding," David Hume presents a rigorous philosophical investigation into the nature and limits of human knowledge. Employing a clear and accessible prose style, Hume navigates the complexities of empiricism, skepticism, and the role of experience in shaping our understanding of the world. The work critiques metaphysical speculation and emphasizes the importance of empirical evidence, leading to Hume's famous assertions regarding causation and induction. This influential text serves as a foundational piece in modern philosophy, engaging with contemporary and historical thoughts, ultimately challenging readers to reconsider the nature of belief and knowledge. David Hume, a central figure of the Scottish Enlightenment, was profoundly influenced by the scientific advances of his time and the empirical traditions laid by earlier philosophers. His keen insights into human psychology, combined with his background in history, economics, and ethics, informed his exploration of how rationality and emotion intersect in forming human beliefs. Hume's own life experiences and intellectual environment shaped his skeptical approach, prompting him to interrogate deeply held assumptions about human understanding and the foundations of knowledge. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the philosophical underpinnings of epistemology and metaphysics. Hume's clear arguments and thought-provoking inquiries challenge readers to engage with timeless questions about knowledge and belief. Whether you are a student of philosophy or a curious reader, this examination of human understanding invites deep reflection and potentially transformative insights.

    A behind-the-scenes look at how digital surveillance is affecting the trucking way of life. 
 
 
 
Long-haul truckers are the backbone of the American economy, transporting goods under grueling conditions and immense economic pressure. Truckers have long valued the independence of their work, sharing a strong occupational identity rooted in a tradition of autonomy. Yet these workers increasingly find themselves under many watchful eyes. Data Driven examines how digital surveillance is upending life and work on the open road, and raises crucial questions about the role of data collection in broader systems of social control. 
 
 
 
Karen Levy takes listeners inside a world few ever see, painting a bracing portrait of one of the last great American frontiers. Federal regulations now require truckers to buy and install digital monitors that capture data about their locations and behaviors. Intended to address the pervasive problem of trucker fatigue by regulating the number of hours driven each day, these devices support additional surveillance by trucking firms and other companies. Traveling from industry trade shows to law offices and truck-stop bars, Levy reveals how these invasive technologies are reconfiguring industry relationships and providing new tools for managerial and legal control—and how truckers are challenging and resisting them.
