About the author

David Hume

Scotland's greatest philosopher, Hume carried empiricism to its logical limits in a thorough skepticism about causation, the self, and religious belief. His Enquiries and Treatise demolished what he saw as metaphysical pretension and inaugurated modern epistemology. Kant said Hume woke him from his dogmatic slumber.
