Keyword(s):
Hume: A Very Short Introduction provides a summary of the ideas and arguments of the philosopher and historian David Hume (1711–76), looking at Hume’s writings on human nature, morality, politics, and religion. Hume’s books need to be put in biographical, historical, and intellectual context. Hume’s major philosophical works, his essays on moral and political subjects, and his History of England constitute a very important part of his output. Hume’s arguments were complex but his conclusions had subtlety. Hume had an interesting and varied life, from his early solitary philosophical experiments to the achievement of fame and wealth. Hume was without doubt a major contributor to the European Enlightenment.
