A Treatise of Human Nature

‘A Treatise of Human Nature’ is one of Hume’s most important works, dissecting the concepts of passion and emotions.

His focus on the correlation between cause and effect has been the subject of debate for psychologists and philosophers for years since its original publication.

A thought-provoking and intricate read, ‘A Treatise of Human Nature’ is ideal for fans of Sam Harris' 'Making Sense' podcast and those with even a passing interest in morality, the scientific method, and philosophy as a whole.

David Hume (1711 – 1776) is widely considered to be one of the most influential philosophers to be published in the English language. A Scotsman, Hume postulated the theory that the universe is governed by natural laws and forces. Critically acclaimed, his writings were cited by Charles Darwin as having a major influence into the Theory of Evolution. He was also known for questioning the nature of the ‘self,’ believing that personal identity is a cultural illusion. His work on the correlation between emotions and moral judgments helped to pioneer the emotivist metaethical school of thought.
