A Treatise of Human Nature V1

A Treatise of Human Nature Volume 1 is a philosophical work written by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. The book is divided into three parts and explores various aspects of human nature, including perception, knowledge, and morality. In the first part, Hume examines the nature of ideas and impressions, arguing that all knowledge is derived from sensory experience. He also discusses the role of imagination in shaping our beliefs and perceptions. The second part of the book focuses on the nature of the self and personal identity, arguing that there is no permanent self or soul, but rather a collection of experiences and perceptions. Finally, in the third part, Hume explores the nature of morality and argues that moral judgments are based on sentiment rather than reason. Throughout the book, Hume uses a clear and concise writing style, making complex philosophical concepts accessible to readers. This work is considered to be one of the most important and influential works of philosophy in the Western tradition.1898. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766154106. Volume 1 of 2.
