Essays by David Hume
"Essays by David Hume" is a two-volume collection published in 1758. This compilation brings together Hume's explorations of political theory, aesthetics, and economic thought. Part I examines government, liberty, taste, and human nature through moral and political lenses. Part II delves into commerce, trade, money, and taxes. Together, these essays showcase one of the Enlightenment's most influential thinkers grappling with questions about society, art, and economics that remain relevant today. (This is
