書籍簡介

《人性論》是休謨一生中最重要的著作，對於人類思想史具有獨創性的理論貢獻。休謨思想中最重要的方面都在這本書中進行了闡述，如關於人性的三個假設，有關自私和同情的看法，有關社會秩序和制度正義的看法等等。休謨總結了自笛卡兒以來近代西方哲學的成果，其最直接、最重要的貢獻是推動了康德批判哲學的形成。

David Hume's comprehensive attempt to base philosophy on a new, observationally grounded study of human nature is one of the most important texts in Western philosophy. It is also the focal point of current attempts to understand 18th-century philosophy The Treatise first explains how we form such concepts as cause and effect, external existence, and personal identity, and how we create compelling but unverifiable beliefs in the entities represented by these concepts. It then offers a novel account of the passions, explains freedom and necessity as they apply to human choices and actions, and concludes with a detailed explanation of how we distinguish between virtue and vice. The volume features Hume's own abstract of the Treatise, a substantial introduction that explains the aims of the Treatise as a whole and of each of its ten parts, a comprehensive index, and suggestions for further reading.

作者簡介

休謨，18世紀英國哲學家、歷史學家、經濟學家，與約翰·洛克及喬治-貝克萊並稱英國“三大經驗主義者”。 休謨把哲學設想為一門歸納的和實驗的人性科學，重視從“生活經驗”中提煉出哲學觀點。他的思想對盧梭、康德等後世哲學家影響深遠。休謨的代表作有：《人性論》、《人類理智研究》、《宗教的自然史》等。

休謨18歲開始構思該書的，到25歲的時候基本完成該書的寫作。在三十歲以前，休謨已經出版了三卷本哲學名著《人性論》，從而奠定了自己在哲學史上的地位。

David Hume was a Scottish historian, philosopher, economist, diplomat and essayist known today especially for his radical philosophical empiricism and scepticism.
