A Treatise of Human Nature

This is one of my favorite books, but I've never linked to it in this newsletter. Until now. Written by David Hume as a young man in 1739, it "fell still-borne from the press", attracting scant attention, and most of that negative, on first publication. Polished philosophers profess to prefer Hume's mature works, the Enquiries, but I much prefer the more authentic argument of the Treatise, the version unmodified by decades of objections and equivocations.
