內容簡介

《人性論》從社會角度而非自然科學角度探討了基於公共意見與信念而形成的人的社會本性。

《人性論》中休謨對人性的分析開啟了西方道德哲學中的情感主義。他認為對於人性的分析不能從理性的抽象原則出發，而應着眼於符合心理法則、表現出價值傾向的現實的個人。他對人性透徹的分析以及對道德善惡標準的界定，為當代政治哲學和道德哲學提供了論説的話題。

One of the most significant works of Western philosophy, Hume's Treatise was published in 1739-40, before he was thirty years old. A pinnacle of English empiricism, it is a comprehensive attempt to apply scientific methods of observation to a study of human nature, and a vigorous attack upon the principles of traditional metaphysical thought. With masterly eloquence, Hume denies the immortality of the soul and the reality of space; considers the manner in which we form concepts of identity, cause and effect; and speculates upon the nature of freedom, virtue and emotion. Opposed both to metaphysics and to rationalism, Hume's philosophy of informed scepticism sees man not as a religious creation, nor as a machine, but as a creature dominated by sentiment, passion and appetite.
