Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume.It is a book by the Scottish philosopher David Hume, considered by many to be Hume's most important work and one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy.Contemporary philosophers like Isaiah Berlin have written that "no man has influenced the history of philosophy to a deeper or more disturbing degree", and Jerry Fodor saying that Hume's Treaty is "the founding document of cognitive science" and the "most important English-speaking philosopher". However, the public in Britain at the time did not agree with Hume, reviewing his work in Research on Human Understanding (1748) and Research on the Principles of Morals (1751).David Hume (Edinburgh, May 7, 1711-ibid, August 25, 1776) 2 was a Scottish philosopher, economist and historian, is one of the most important figures in Western philosophy and the Scottish Enlightenment. Hume asserts that all knowledge derives, ultimately, from sensitive experience. His main works are: Treaty of human nature (1739) and Research on human understanding (1748).
