David Hume was an eighteenth-century Scottish philosopher, historian, and essayist, and the author of A Treatise of Human Nature, considered by many to be one of the most important philosophical works ever published.
Hume attended the University of Edinburgh at an early age and considered a career in law before deciding that the pursuit of knowledge was his true calling. Hume s writings on rationalism and empiricism, free will, determinism, and the existence of God would be enormously influential on contemporaries such as Adam Smith, as well as the philosophers like Schopenhauer, John Stuart Mill, and Karl Popper, who succeeded him. Hume died in 1776.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating yet tumultuous relationship between renowned philosopher David Hume and controversial writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century Europe, it explores the initial warmth and camaraderie between the two thinkers, which gradually disintegrated into a bitter and public feud. The author meticulously examines the complex interplay of personalities, beliefs, and circumstances that fueled this unraveling. Through a meticulous analysis of letters and other primary sources, the book sheds light on the philosophical differences, personal slights, and external pressures that strained their bond. Beyond the captivating narrative, this book offers a profound exploration of the nature of friendship, betrayal, and the limits of human understanding. It invites readers to ponder the fragility of human connections and the devastating consequences of letting pride and suspicion poison relationships. Ultimately, this book serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of allowing personal animosities to overshadow the pursuit of truth and the common good.
