Description
David Hume's Selected Essays offers a unique insight into the thoughts and ideas of one of history's most influential thinkers. This collection, drawn from his Essays Moral, Political, and Literary (1776 edition), showcases Hume's ability to bridge the gap between academic and social discourse. From discussions on essay writing to examinations of the rise and progress of the arts and sciences, Hume tackles a wide range of topics that reflect the cultural, political, and historical concerns of his time. His essays provide a fascinating glimpse into the state of civil society, manners, morals, and taste in the mid-eighteenth century. This edition is part of Oxford World's Classics, a series dedicated to making high-quality literature available at an affordable price.
