Scottish philosopher David Hume―turned historian―was born in 1711 in Edinburgh. He died in August 1776. For many, his concepts and debates on the science of man are still relevant. He made himself even more popular by arguing that what governs human behavior is desire and not reason.
He was interested in experimental philosophy in moral matters, and said there is a big difference between "ought" and "is.".
By frequency, the most important words (often called objects) used by Hume are reason, nature, cause, imagination, passion, effect, impression, pleasure, existence, and experience.
This illustrated book makes use of those terms so that you can cluster the main ideas visually and effortlessly.
