David Hume: The Collected Works - Exploring Empiricism and Skepticism in 18th Century Philosophy

David Hume

Sinopse

David Hume: The Collected Works presents a comprehensive anthology of the philosophical writings of one of the most pivotal figures of the Scottish Enlightenment. This meticulously curated collection includes seminal texts such as *A Treatise of Human Nature* and *An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding*, showcasing Hume's distinctive empiricist approach and his skepticism towards metaphysical speculations. Through clear, accessible prose enriched by a masterful command of language, Hume invites readers into profound explorations of human psychology, morality, and epistemology, contextually situated within the intellectual currents of 18th-century thought. David Hume (1711-1776), a Scottish philosopher, historian, and essayist, is celebrated for his pioneering contributions to modern philosophy, particularly in the realm of empiricism and naturalism. Influenced by the Enlightenment's rational spirit, Hume's works reflect a deep inquiry into the nature of knowledge and belief, often questioning the very foundations of causality and the self. His background in law and history, combined with a keen interest in human nature, profoundly shaped his philosophical legacy. This collection is an essential resource for both scholars and enthusiasts of philosophy, offering insights into Hume's critical examination of human intuition and belief systems. It invites readers to engage with timeless questions about the nature of existence, reason, and the limits of human understanding, making it a vital addition to any philosophical library.
