Penguin Annelies. A Novel of Anne Frank Gillham David

Одно из самых значительных произведений западной философии, трактат Юма, был опубликован в 1739-40 годах, когда ему еще не исполнилось тридцати лет. Являясь вершиной английского эмпиризма, она представляет собой всестороннюю попытку применить научные методы наблюдения к изучению человеческой природы и энергичную атаку на принципы традиционной метафизической мысли. С виртуозным красноречием Юм отрицает бессмертие души и реальность пространства; рассматривает способ, которым мы формируем концепции идентичности, причины и следствия; и размышляет о природе свободы, добродетели и эмоций. Противопоставляемая как метафизике, так и рационализму, философия обоснованного скептицизма Юма рассматривает человека не как религиозное творение и не как машину, а как существо, в котором доминируют чувства, страсти и аппетиты
