A scholarly edition of a work by David Hume. The edition presents
an authoritative text, together with an introduction, commentary
notes, and scholarly apparatus.
David Hume's Treatise of Human Nature, was composed before the
author was twenty-six years old, was published in 1739 and 1740.
Its importance was not generally recognised at the time. Hume,
attributing the failure of his Treatise to the manner of its
writing rather than the matter is contained, cast the first part of
that work anew in the Enquiry concerning Human Understanding
(1748), and afterwards continued the same process in the second
work contained in this volume, the Enquiry concerning the
Principles of Morals (1751).
David Hume's Treatise of Human Nature, composed before the author
was twenty-eight years old, was published in 1739 and 1740. In
revising the late L.A. Selby-Bigge's edition of Hume's Treatise
Professor Nidditch corrected verbal errors and took account of
Hume's manuscript amendments. He also supplied the text of the
Abstract of the Treatise following the original 1740 edition and
provided an apparatus of variant readings.
