In this compelling and accessible account of the life and thought
of the Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume (1711-1776),
Professor Christopher J. Berry of the University of Glasgow argues
that the belief in the uniformity of human nature was at the heart
of Hume's thought. In this volume, Berry introduces classic
'Humean' themes including the evolution of social institutions as
an unintended consequence of the pursuit of self-interest, the
importance of custom and habit in establishing rules of just
conduct, and the defence of commerce and luxury. The book reveals
Hume as an original thinker, whose thought may be understood as a
combination of various strands of conservatism, libertarianism and
liberalism.
