David Hume (1711–76) was a Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist. He is known for his theories about empiricism and naturalism. Hume was also a sentimentalist who believed that ethics are based on emotions rather than abstract moral principles. He also influenced philosophers like Immanuel Kant. Today, many of his theories in contemporary philosophy and cognitive science are known as ‘Humean.’ ‘A Treatise of Human Nature’ is one of his most notable works.
