Here is a rewritten version of the summary with a more academic tone and no quotes:
David Hume's "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" (1748) is a refined and condensed version of his earlier work, "A Treatise of Human Nature" (1739-1740). Following the Treatise's lackluster reception, Hume sought to rearticulate his ideas in a more accessible and provocative manner. The Enquiry distills the essential components of the Treatise, omitting certain topics like personal identity, while emphasizing crucial concepts, such as the role of habit in epistemology.
This work profoundly impacted the development of philosophy, both in its time and contemporary thought. Immanuel Kant credited the Enquiry with stimulating his own philosophical awakening. Today, the Enquiry is revered as a seminal text in modern philosophical literature, continuing to influence intellectual discourse.
