About this book

A Treatise of Human Nature, first published between 1739 and 1740, is a philosophical text by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. The work contains three books: "e;Of the Understanding"e;, "e;Of the Passions"e; and "e;Of Morals"e;. Written by Hume when he was 26, it is considered by many to be Hume's best work and one of the most important books in philosophy's history.
