{"product_id":"9781420944938","title":"Essays: Moral, Political, and Literary (Volume I of II)","description":"David Hume (1711-1776) is regarded as one of the most significant literary figures in the history of the Scottish Enlightenment and Western philosophy. A Scottish born historian, philosopher, economist, and essayist, Hume is especially known for his concentration in philosophical empiricism and skepticism. He is often grouped with a handful of other British Empiricists of the time such as John Locke and George Berkeley. As a strong empiricist and a prominent figure in the skeptical philosophical tradition, Hume strove to create a total naturalistic approach to the \"science of man\" that examined the psychological basis of human nature. He is chiefly known today for his work, \"Treatise of Human Nature\" (1739), a treatment on human cognition that includes important statements of his skepticism and experimental method. Almost twenty years later, he produced a collection of essays that gained favorable response to the public. \"Essays: Moral, Political, and Literary\" (1758) is a two volume compilation of essays by David Hume. Part I includes the essays that largely cover political and aesthetic issues, while Part II delves into economic themes.","brand":"Neeland Media LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133735518448,"sku":"9781420944938","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781420944938_p0.jpg?v=1763729982","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420944938","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
