This volume includes the two investigations that constitute the definitive version of David Hume's epistemological and moral work. This edition includes introductory works by Manuel Garrido and Jaime de Salas, as well as notes and bibliography to delve into the study of Hume. It presents the famous critique of causality and the defense of an enlightened vision of the world, contrasting with Hume's early work due to the radical treatment of miracles and the cosmological argument.
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.
