   ix schools have claimed Hume as one of their own – positivism, natur-alism, skepticism, empiricism, and phenomenology – to name a few. Competing interpretations of Hume’s analysis of causality regard him variously as a regularity theorist, a quasi-realist, and a skeptical real-ist. In recent years his ethical theory has been considered a work in vi...

   personal and intellectual struggles while he was writing the Treatise influenced his conclusions about skepticism and human nature. Throughout the book I draw links back to this biographical study.

   their effects. He argues that our actions are determined by circum-stance, motive and character – and that there is no more chance or “indifference” in human action than in physical causes.

   Is a treatise of human nature a breezy book?

   • David Hume’s A Treatise of Human Nature is not a breezy book. From the first page, it plunged me into a fervid mode of double-layered analysis in which my struggle to comprehend the text was mirrored by efforts to track my personal reactions to whatever content I was able to wrest from it.

   Is a treatise of human nature an empirical study?

   • Seems obvious today, but back then it was a huge shift in philosophical thought.
