About the lecture

In this module, we turn to probably the greatest single figure in the Scottish Enlightenment—the philosopher David Hume. In particular, we think about Hume differs from other Enlightenment figures—not least in his atheism—as well as touching on one of his major philosophical works, A Treatise of Human Nature.
