These essays cover a diversity of subjects in Hume's work. They discuss his theory of knowledge: his conception of human inquiry and the human mind: his views on our knowledge of the external world and the future: his treatments of the passions, emotions, and virtue, his conception of moral education and his views on aesthetics and religion and his historical work.
