A treatise of human nature; being an attempt to introduce the experimental method of reasoning into moral subjects by
David Hume(
)
57 editions published between 1739 and 2012 in English and Undetermined and held by 2,319 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

Essays on suicide and the immortality of the soul by
David Hume(
)
46 editions published between 1783 and 2020 in 3 languages and held by 1,985 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Hume's two essays (pages 1-39), are followed by by two essays by the editor, a reprinting of two letters by Rousseau and Addison's essay; these other writings are described in another edition as "an antidote to the poison contained in these [that is Hume's] performances." Rousseau's letters are from his Lettres de deux amans, habitans d'une petite ville au pied des Alpes, 1761 (later entitled Julie ou la Nouvelle Heloise). Addison's essay is one of those added to his Evidences of the Christian religion in the 1733 edition. This seems to be the third edition of these essays by Hume, the earlier editions having been published first in 1777 as "Two essays," then in 1783. This is the first edition to include Addison's essay, not mentioned on the title page but included on the 1799 edition's title page. These two essays by Hume were Intended to be printed in 'Four dissertations', 1757, but were suppressed from publication
