David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature (1739 40) presents the most
important account of skepticism in the history of modern
philosophy. In this lucid and thorough introduction to the work,
John P. Wright examines the development of Hume's ideas in the
Treatise, their relation to eighteenth-century theories of the
imagination and passions, and the reception they received when Hume
published the Treatise. He explains Hume's arguments concerning the
inability of reason to establish the basic beliefs which underlie
science and morals, as well as his arguments showing why we are
nevertheless psychologically compelled to accept such beliefs. The
book will be a valuable guide for those seeking to understand the
nature of modern skepticism and its connection with the founding of
the human sciences during the Enlightenment.
