«Del conocimiento» is David Hume's work of philosophy, published in 1984 by Sarpe in hardcover (176 pages, in Spanish).
David Hume examines how we form concepts such as cause and effect, external existence and personal identity, and argues that many of our beliefs about them cannot be confirmed. He also analyzes the passions, liberty and necessity, and sets out how we distinguish between vice and virtue.
«Del conocimiento» belongs to the collection «Los Grandes Pensadores»; the original work, «A Treatise of Human Nature», was published in 1739-1740.
For readers interested in philosophy and in David Hume's empiricism.
David Hume was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist and essayist who is known for his highly influential system of empiricism, philosophical scepticism and metaphysical naturalism. Beginning with A Treatise of Human Nature (1739–40), Hume strove to create a naturalistic science of man that examined the psychological basis of human nature. Following John Locke, Hume rejected the existence of innate ideas, holding that all our ideas derive ultimately from impressions, but in his fork he distinguished relations of ideas, known a priori, from matters of fact, whose knowledge rests on experience. This places him in the empiricist tradition of Locke and George Berkeley, while drawing his experimental method from Francis Bacon.
