		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.
		Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Natural Religion, are in some measure dependent on the science of MAN; since the lie under the cognizance of men, and are judged of by their powers and faculties.
		But as their motion is seldom direct, and naturally turns a little to the one side or the other; for this reason the animal spirits, falling into the contiguous traces, present other related ideas in lieu of that, which the mind desired at first to survey.

	Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature
		David Hume’s A Treatise of Human Nature (1739) is an extensive investigation of the origin, nature, aims, and limits of human knowledge and understanding.
		Book II describes the causes of the passions, the objects and aims of the passions, the influence of reason on the passions, and the nature of human liberty and necessity.
		Hume emphasizes the importance of sympathy as a principle of human nature, and explains that sympathy may be a source of moral virtues.

		This application of ideas beyond their nature proceeds from our collecting all their possible degrees of quantity and quality in such an imperfect manner as may serve the purposes of life, which is the second proposition I propos'd to explain.
		This then is the nature of our abstract ideas and general terms; and 'tis after this manner we account for the foregoing paradox, that some ideas are particular in their nature, but general in their representation.
		But as their motion is seldom direct, and naturally turns a little to the one side or the other; for this reason the animal spirits, falling into the contiguous traces, present other related ideas in lieu of that, which the mind desir'd at first to survey.

	Laws of Nature [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Laws of Nature are to be distinguished both from Scientific Laws and from Natural Laws (as invoked in legal or ethical theories [see Natural Laws]).
		Human beings — it was alleged — are 'free' to break (act contrary to) God's moral laws; but neither human beings nor the other parts of creation are free to break God's physical laws.
		All laws of nature — of physics, of chemistry, of biology, of economics, of psychology, of sociology, etc. — are nothing more, nor anything less, than (a certain subclass of) true propositions.

		David Hume's comprehensive attempt to base philosophy on a new, observationally grounded study of human nature is one of the most important texts in Western philosophy.
		These principles are natural inclinations of the body itself, not derived from logic or reason (i.e., speculation), but by verifiable experimentation, inferred from experience itself, especially the emotions of pride, humility, love, and hatred.
		That's an overstatement, certainly, but David Hume's 'Treatise of Human Nature' is unquestionably one of the most influential and important works of philosophy in the history of mankind.

	TREATISE OF HUMAN NATURE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hume's positive statement of the nature of beliefs based on cause and effect was that it is an idea enlivened by the presence of another idea which it has been constantly conjoined in the past.
		A natural objection is that the deterministic side presents an impediment to moral evaluation, to reward and punishment.
		It seems that human actions are the outcome of the creation of the world itself, and thus, that the ultimate source of blame for bad actions would have to be God.

	David Hume
		These theories were too entrenched, too influential, and too different from his proposed science of human nature to permit him just to present his "new scene of thought" as their replacement.
		To develop a science of human nature, it is first necessary to undermine the foundations of all forms of false and misleading metaphysics.
		Accurate, just reasoning about human nature -- the descriptive project of true metaphysics -- requires us to examine the scope and limits of our cognitive capacities, so that we may at last obtain an exact picture of the powers and limitations of human understanding.

		"'Tis 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."

		Fear and grief become a complex "tincture" of imagination, natural emotion and physical response.

		The mere philosopher is a character, which is commonly but little acceptable in the world, as being supposed to contribute nothing either to the advantage or pleasure of society.
		Educated at Edinburgh, he lived (1734–37) in France, where he finished his first philosophical work, A Treatise of Human Nature (1739–40).
		His other philosophical works include An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (1748; a simplified version of the first book of the Treatise), An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals (1751), Political Discourses (1752), The Natural History of Religion (1755), and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1779).—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.

	David Hume, Treatise of Human Nature (1739), Appendix
		A man, who is free from mistakes, can pretend to no praises, except from the justness of his understanding: But a man, who corrects his mistakes, shows at once the justness of his understanding, and the candour and ingenuity of his temper.
		Either the belief is some new idea, such as that of reality or existence, which we join to the simple conception of an object, or it is merely a peculiar feeling or sentiment.
		For if it be not analogous to any other sentiment, we must despair of explaining its causes, and must consider it as an original principle of the human mind.

	DAVID HUME
		In the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion Hume examines and largely refutes the argument from design upon which the natural religion of the British Royal Society was founded.
		Public reaction to his work is sparse, he declares: "It fell dead-born from the press, without reaching such distinctions even to excite a murmur among the zealots." In response he publishes, once more anonymously, An Abstract of a Treatise of Human Nature.

		Hume's Treatise was published before he was thirty (after its publication in 1739-40 he wrote that it 'fell dead-born from the press').
		It is nothing less than an attempt to extend the Copernican Revolution to philosophy - to put to the test of experience a complete system of the moral sciences which had hitherto gone unquestioned.
