Essays Moral Political Literary (Rev)
Essays Moral Political Literary (Rev) | David Hume
2 posts
This edition contains the thirty-nine essays included in Essays, Moral, and Literary, that made up Volume I of the 1777 posthumous Essays and Treatises on Several Subjects. It also includes ten essays that were withdrawn or left unpublished by Hume for various reasons. The two most important were deemed too controversial for the religious climate of his time. This revised edition reflects changes based on further comparisons with eighteenth-century texts and an extensive reworking of the index.

Pretty sure my browser is staking me...it knows what I‘m thinking and what I look up at the library. It‘s a little creepy. Maybe it has some ideas on this bloody paper and that is getting dangerously close to pushing into its 3rd year now. #DavidHume #Hume #Philosophy #millionsofwords

Nothing appears more surprizing to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.
