Essays, Moral, Political, And Literary by David Hume
This collection of essays by the philosopher explores a range of topics across ethics, politics, and aesthetics. Written in a clear, conversational style, the essays examine human nature, the workings of government, economic theories, and the merits of refined taste, among other subjects. The author employs a skeptical approach to question traditional doctrines and suggests that politics and morals should be grounded in empirical observations of the world. The work reflects the Enlightenment spirit of rational inquiry and has been influential in the development of modern political philosophy and economic thought.
