Synopsis
"An Essay On the Depravity ... of Human Nature" by Thomas O'Brien MacMahon, presents a robust defense of traditional views on human nature against the more optimistic perspectives advanced by Enlightenment thinkers such as David Hume. MacMahon aligns himself with moralists like La Bruiere, critiquing what he perceives as a decline in moral standards.
