A Treatise of Human Nature: Being an Attempt to Introduce the Experimental Method of Reasoning into Mor (Penguin Classics) (origineel 1739; editie 1986)
A Treatise of Human Nature, first published between 1739 and 1740, is a philosophical text by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. The work contains three books: "Of the Understanding", "Of the Passions" and "Of Morals". Written by Hume when he was 26, it is considered by many to be Hume's best work and one of the most important books in philosophy's history.
Tried twice, never got far. Maybe a sensation when first published, but now of only historical interest - for those who have lots of time, which I don't, and who have never come across Oriental philosophies, which I have.. Moreover, language changes, so it's often hard to tell what the author actually meant when using words like 'extension'; and where the words are clear, the argument is sometimes spurious. This time I stopped after reading "We can form no idea of a mountain without a valley". I very well can. ( )

SECT. I. OF THE ORIGIN OF OUR IDEAS. All the perceptions of the human mind resolve themselves into two distinct kinds, which I shall call IMPRESSIONS and IDEAS.
Nothing is more usual and more natural for those, who pretend to discover anything new to the world in philosophy and the sciences, than to insinuate the praises of their own systems, by decrying all those, which have been advanced before them. (Introduction)

It is evident, that all the sciences have a relation, greater or less, to human nature: and that however wide any of them may seem to run from it, they still return back by one passage or another. Even Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Natural Religion, are in some measure dependent on the science of MAN; since they lie under the cognizance of men, and are judged of by their powers and faculties. It is impossible to tell what changes and improvements we might make in these sciences were we thoroughly acquainted with the extent and force of human understanding, and could explain the nature of the ideas we employ, and of the operations we perform in our reasonings.

Had I said, that two ideas of the same object can only be different by their different feeling, I should have been nearer the truth.
