Written while he was still in his twenties, this ambitious work asks how we form ideas, develop beliefs, make moral judgments, and decide how to act. Hume argues that much of what we think and do is driven not by pure reason but by feeling, habit, experience, and desire. He explores the nature of perception, the origins of our belief in cause and effect, the role of the passions, and the foundations of morality and justice.
