David Hume's 'A Treatise of Human Nature' is a foundational work of Western philosophy. Published in 2002 by RBA Coleccionables, this hardcover book explores the nature of human knowledge, passions, and morality. Hume, with his empiricist approach, challenges traditional conceptions and offers an innovative vision that has influenced generations of thinkers.
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.
