Despre autor
David Hume a fost un filozof, istoric și economist scoțian, un adept al empirismului, unul dintre reprezentanții cei mai de seamă ai Iluminismului scoțian. A fost un critic neobosit al dogmatismului metafizic și religios, devenind celebru pentru modul curajos în care a abordat, de pe poziții sceptice, o serie de subiecte filozofice cum ar fi cauzalitatea, probabilitatea, identitatea personală sau originea virtuții.
