Hume by Thomas Henry Huxley
QR code
"Hume" by Thomas Henry Huxley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life and philosophy of David Hume, one of the most influential philosophers of the Enlightenment. It features two main parts: Hume's life detailing his personal experiences and literary journey, and an exploration of his philosophical ideas which shaped modern thought. The opening of the text introduces Hume's early life, detailing his birth
in Edinburgh and his modest beginnings. It describes his family background, the early loss of his father, and his mother's influence on his education and character formation. It captures Hume's struggle to find a suitable profession, as he attempted various careers before committing to philosophy and literature. His introspective nature and thirst for knowledge are highlighted, setting the stage for understanding the complexity of his philosophical contributions, which the book will explore further.
