Autorenporträt
Born in 1711 in Edinburgh, Scotland, David Hume was a philosopher, historian, and essayist who became a central figure of the Scottish Enlightenment. He is best known for his influential system of empiricism, philosophical skepticism, and metaphysical naturalism. Hume's work laid the foundation for modern philosophical inquiry.In his seminal work, A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40), Hume sought to create a naturalistic science of man by examining the psychological basis of human nature. He argued that all human knowledge derives solely from experience, rejecting the existence of innate ideas. This empiricist approach placed him alongside thinkers like John Locke and George Berkeley.Hume's skepticism extended to concepts such as causality and inductive reasoning, contending that our beliefs in these principles result from custom and mental habit rather than rational justification. His critiques of religious arguments, particularly in works like Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1779), challenged traditional views and influenced subsequent philosophical discourse. Hume's legacy endures, impacting fields ranging from philosophy to economics.
