A treatise of human nature. Book I

A treatise of human nature. Book I

Hume begins by arguing that the science of man must be pursued by the experimental methods of the natural sciences. Each simple idea is derived from a simple impression, so that all our ideas are ultimately derived from experience: thus Hume accepts concept empiricism and rejects the purely intellectual and innate ideas found in rationalist philosophy.
