The great Scottish Enlightenment thinker and historian David Hume (1711-1776) is regarded as the 'ultimate skeptic' or the quintessential moral philosopher.
In these four essays, which are included in the two-volume work that encapsulates his philosophy, 'Moral, Political, and Literary Essays' (1758), Hume evaluates four major philosophical schools of ancient Greece, seeking answers to the central questions that permeate his work: What is the true nature of Good and Evil? Are virtue and happiness inherently connected? What is the life stance that reconciles us most fully with ourselves?
In his time, his views were often regarded as heretical. Today, they amaze with their relevance.
