His background was politically Whiggish and religiously Calvinistic. As a child he faithfully attended the local Church of Scotland pastored by his uncle. Hume was educated by his widowed mother until he left for the University of Edinburgh at the age of eleven. His letters describe how as a young student he took religion seriously and obediently followed a list of moral guidelines taken from The Whole Duty of Man , a popular Calvinistic devotional. Leaving the University of Edinburgh at around age fifteen to pursue his education privately, he was encouraged to consider a career in law, but his interests turned to philosophy. During these years of private study he began raising serious questions about religion, as he recounts in the following letter: Tis not long ago that I burn'd an old Manuscript Book, wrote before I was twenty; which contain'd, Page after Page, the gradual Progress of my Thoughts on that head [i.e. religious belief]. It begun with an anxious Search after Arguments, to confirm the common Opinion: Doubts stole in, dissipated, return'd, were again dissipated, return'd again.

David Hume, 1711-1776. One of the greatest philosophers in Western history, as well as an accomplished historian, economist, perennial skeptic and delightful fellow. David Hume was one of the most prominent figures of the Scottish Enlightenment and a close friend of Adam Smith . Hume's contributions to economics are found mostly in his Political Discourses (1752), which were later incorporated into his Essays Hume was a virulent anti-Mercantilist . He was adamant that wealth was measured by the stock of commodities of a nation, not its stock of money. He was also one of the better articulators of the Quantity Theory and the neutrality of money ("It is none of the wheels of trade: it is the oil which renders the motion of the wheels more smooth and easy", Of Money , 1752). Contrary to the Mercantilists, Hume related low interest rates not to abundant money, but to booming commerce. He was one of the first to spell out the "loanable funds" theory of interest, arguing that interest rates are determined by the demand for loans and the supply of saving. Low interest rates are thus symptoms of a booming, commercial economy, where thrift and the desire for gain and accumulation take hold. However, he admitted that in the short-run (and only the short-run), a rising supply of money could have a beneficial effect on industry.

Philosophy Pages F A Q Dictionary ... Locke David Hume Life and Works Ideas Belief The Self ... Internet Sources Soon after completing his studies at Edinburgh, Scottish philosopher David Hume began writing his comprehensive statement of the views he believed would contribute to philosophy no less than Newton's had to science. But the public reception for the three books of his magisterial Treatise of Human Nature (1739) was less than cordial, and Hume abandoned his hopes of a philosophical career in order to support his family as a librarian, historian, diplomat, and political essayist, a course of action he described in the autobiographical My Own Life (1776). Hume's Essays Moral and Political (1741-1742) found some success, and the multi-volume History of England (1754-1762) finally secured the modest livelihood for which he had hoped. Although he spent most of his life trying to produce more effective statements of his philosophical views, he did not live to see the firm establishment of his reputation by the criticisms of Kant and much later appreciation of the logical positivists The central themes of Book I of the Treatise receive a somewhat more accessible treatment in An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding (1748), a more popular summary of Hume's

David Hume (Edinburgh 26-4-1711 - 25-8-1776 Edinburgh) Leven 'Mijn Eigen Leven' Liever Filosofie dan Rechten Hume's Hoofdwerk ... Terug naar index Geschiedenis A. Leven I. 'Mijn eigen Leven' Op 18 april 1776 is David Hume, dan al ernstig ziek, klaar met zijn uiterst beknopte autobiografie My Own Life . De eerste zin luidt: 'Het is moeilijk voor iemand om lang over zichzelf te spreken zonder ijdel te worden; daarom zal ik kort zijn'. Het tekent hem. Wanneer Hume, nimmer gehuwd en kinderloos, in zijn testament laat opnemen dat op zijn graf een eenvoudig monument moet komen te staan met daarin uitsluitend zijn naam gehakt, verzucht zijn vriend en econoom Adam Smith, schrijver van het boek Wealth of Nations eerlijk mens'. Hoezeer ook Hume in zijn handelen als een bescheiden persoon te boek staat, als hulpvaardig, vrijgevig, evenwichtig, en bovenal goedaardig, zo valt eveneens overal te lezen hoe extreem Hume was in zijn denken, hoe meedogenloos in discussies, hoe meesterlijk in zijn geschriften. Dat radicale denken komt beneden aan de orde, maar eerst wordt hier kort - hoe zouden we anders durven - het leven geschetst van deze Verlichte Schot, le bon David , die, nota bene als atheist, in de naar hem vernoemde St. David Street woonde.

A master stylist in any genre, Hume's major philosophical works A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-1740), the Enquiries concerning Human Understanding (1748) and concerning the Principles of Morals (1751), as well as the posthumously published Dialogues concerning Natural Religion (1779) remain widely and deeply influential, despite their being denounced by many of his contemporaries as works of scepticism and atheism. While Hume's influence is evident in the moral philosophy and economic writings of his close friend Adam Smith, he also awakened Immanuel Kant from his "dogmatic slumbers" and "caused the scales to fall" from Jeremy Bentham's eyes. Charles Darwin counted Hume as a central influence, as did "Darwin's bulldog," Thomas Henry Huxley. The diverse directions in which these writers took what they gleaned from reading Hume reflect not only the richness of their sources but also the wide range of Hume's empiricism. Comtemporary philosophers recognize Hume as one of the most thoroughgoing exponents of philosophical naturalism.

David Hume (1711-1776) Essays, Moral, Political and Literary In 1580, French writer Michel Montaigne created a literary genre with the publication of his Essais . Montaigne's work is a collection of over 100 musings on a variety of subjects, including "Of Idleness", "Of Liars", "Of Fear", "Of Friendship", and "Of Cannibals". After Montaigne, hundreds of collections of essays appeared by noted writers such as Francis Bacon, John Dryden, Alexander Pope, Joseph Addison, and Samuel Johnson. Although some writers published formal essays that might be better termed "treatises", the quintessential essay was informal, personal and, above all, entertaining. In 1741 Hume published his Essays, Moral and Political in which he consciously followed the tried and true model of informal essay writing. Part of Hume's motivation for producing a collection of informal essays stems from the poor public reception of his more formally written Treatise of Human Nature (1739-1740). In his essay "Of Essay Writing", Hume expresses his hope that his own collection of essays would be of interest both to learned people and conversational people. In the opening section of his first Enquiry (1748, first titled

8. Empirisme - Hume Antecedents de l'empirisme (Occam, Bacon i Hobbes) i fil²sofs empiristes. http://alcoberro.info/Hume.htm

L'EMPIRISME I DAVID HUME (1711-1776) Però l'empirisme, com a moviment filosòfic, es fa ressò d'una llarga tradició britànica. Entre els seus antecedents podem esmentar el nominalista Guillem d'Occam (Medieval: S.XIVè).També recull la teoria de la ciència de Bacon (Renaixement) i la teoria política de Hobbes, autor del llibre "Leviathan o l'Estat" pels aspectes ètics i polítics. La paraula "Empirisme" prové del grec empíria o empeireia que significa: "experiència". Els empiristes diuen que el coneixement racional no depèn de la suposada existència d'idees innates, sinó que es fonamenta en l'experiència, en el concret, o (en expressió de Locke) "en el comerç amb el món". No hi ha raó que pugui prescindir del coneixement sensible, la raó humana no és autosuficient sinó que depèn de la sensibilitat. Com a moviment, podem assenyalar quatre grans idees en el conjunt de l'empirisme:

DAVID HUME (1711-1776) "When we run over libraries, persuaded of these principles, what havoc must we make? If we take in our hand any volume of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance, let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames, for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion." An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding "Methinks that I am like a man, who having struck on many shoals, and having narrowly escap'd ship-wreck in passing a small firth, has yet the temerity to put to sea in the same leaky weather-beaten vessel, and even carries his ambition so far as to thi nk of compassing the globe under this disadvantageous circumstances...Fain wou'd I run into the crowd for shelter and warmth; but cannot prevail with myself to mix with such deformity. I call upon others to join me, in order to make a company apart, but no one will harken to me. Everyone keeps a distance, and dreads that storm that beats upon me from every side. I have expos'd myself to the enmity of all metaphysicians, logicians, mathematicians, and even theologians; and can I wonder at the insults I must suffer?... Can I be sure that in leaving all establish'd opinions I am following the truth?" A Treatise of Human Nature David Hume was a Scottish philosopher. historian and economist.
