Publisher's Synopsis
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume.The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.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).
