ABOUT THE AUTHOR David Hume (1711 - 1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist and essayist who is known for his highly influential system of empiricism, philosophical skepticism and metaphysical naturalism. Beginning with A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40), Hume strove to create a naturalistic science of man that examined the psychological basis of human nature. Following John Locke, Hume rejected the existence of innate ideas, holding that all our ideas derive ultimately from impressions. He distinguished relations of ideas, known a priori, from matters of fact, whose knowledge rests on experience. This places him in the empiricist tradition of Locke and George Berkeley, while drawing his experimental method from Francis Bacon. During his lifetime, Hume was chiefly known as a historian and essayist, as his History of England became a bestseller, while his Treatise initially received little notice and his supposed atheism saw him passed over for university chairs. Hume left a legacy that affected utilitarianism, logical positivism, the philosophy of science, early analytic philosophy, cognitive science, theology and many other fields and thinkers. Immanuel Kant credited Hume as the inspiration that had awakened him from his 'dogmatic slumbers.'
