About this product

Product Information

One of the most significant works of Western philosophy, Hume's Treatise was published in 1739-40, before he was thirty years old. A pinnacle of English empiricism, it is a comprehensive attempt to apply scientific methods of observation to a study of human nature, and a vigorous attack upon the principles of traditional metaphysical thought. With masterly eloquence, Hume denies the immortality of the soul and the reality of space; considers the manner in which we form concepts of identity, cause and effect; and speculates upon the nature of freedom, virtue and emotion. Opposed both to metaphysics and to rationalism, Hume's philosophy of informed scepticism sees man not as a religious creation, nor as a machine, but as a creature dominated by sentiment, passion and appetite.

  • Awesome product and prompt delivery. Excellent service, thank you very much

    It was a really great insight into the mind of one of the great minds in philosophy. Mr Hume gives an indeliable insight into human nature, and a critique into how we (as humans) use our logical and reason to dampen our experiences in the world. 5/5 a great read
