A Treatise of Human Nature - Vol I

Meer over het boek

The treatise explores the autonomy of human passions and moral nature, arguing against reason's influence. In the second volume, Hume transitions from skepticism to a more structured moral theory aligned with the sentimentalist school of the eighteenth century. Key topics include the nature of pride, humility, love, hatred, and the distinctions between virtue and vice, justice and injustice. This work delves into the complexities of human emotions and ethical considerations, offering a comprehensive view of Hume's moral philosophy.
