著者について
David Hume (1711–1776) stands out as one of the most formidable figures of Western philosophy and the Scottish Enlightenment. Characterized by a profound skepticism that questioned conventional wisdom, Hume espoused a philosophy grounded in empiricism and naturalism. Apart from his philosophic prowess, he was also an accomplished historian and essayist. His seminal works, including 'A Treatise of Human Nature,' 'An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding,' and 'An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals,' have endured through the centuries for their lucid expression and the depth of intellectual inquiry. Hume's essay 'Of the Standard of Taste' delves into the realms of aesthetics, where he attempts to reconcile the subjectivity of individual tastes with the presence of objective standards in art and beauty. Known for his clear, succinct, and elegant prose, Hume's literary style has influenced countless philosophers and scholars. His contributions, notably to epistemology and ethics, continue to fuel discussions and inspire works in fields that range from cognitive science to economic theory. His thoughts on causality, induction, and religion, among others, have positioned Hume as a central figure in philosophy curricula worldwide.
