📝 Description
David Hume's 'A Treatise of Human Nature' is a foundational work in Western philosophy, aiming to develop a complete 'science of man' based on empirical observation. It explores topics such as perception, causality, morality, and the passions, famously arguing that reason is 'the slave of the passions.' Though initially poorly received, it is now considered one of the most important texts in empiricism and skepticism.
