A treatise of human nature; being an attempt to introduce the experimental method of reasoning into moral subjects by
David Hume(
)
31 editions published between 1740 and 2012 in English and held by 1,626 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Following in the paths of Locke and Berkeley, Hume argued that all knowledge starts with sensation. But he rejected Berkeley's appeal to God to explain the stability and persistence of phenomena. Hume argued that the problem of relations between phenomena cannot be solved in empirical terms because we cannot immediately sense all causal relationships, since we sense only individual impressions. Therefore causation must be explained in terms of psychological habits resulting from the association of ideas. It is to this question that he addresses himself here
