书籍简介

在他的著作中，大卫·休谟致力于弥合学术界的学问世界与礼貌社会的市场之间的差距。这本文集主要借鉴了他的《道德、政治和文学随笔》（1776年版），该书甚至比他著名的《人性论》更受欢迎，从多方面展示了他的成功程度。

从 "关于论文写作 "到 "关于艺术和科学的兴起和进步"，休谟囊括了社会、文化、政治、人口和历史问题的惊人范围。他以苏格兰启蒙运动的典型范围，描绘了公民社会、礼仪、道德和品味的状况，以及18世纪中期政治经济学的发展。这些文章不仅代表了休谟的论点在当时具有典型意义的那些领域，而且还代表了他在一个已经被认为是创新的时期的

在一个已经以伟大的思想家而闻名的时期，他在这些方面也有惊人的创新。

In his writings, David Hume set out to bridge the gap between the learned world of the academy and the marketplace of polite society. This collection, drawing largely on his Essays Moral, Political, and Literary (1776 edition), which was even more popular than his famous Treatise of Human Nature, comprehensively shows how far he succeeded.

From `Of Essay Writing' to `Of the Rise and Progress of the Arts and Sciences' Hume embraces a staggering range of social, cultural, political, demographic, and historical concerns. With the scope typical of the Scottish Enlightenment, he charts the state of civil society, manners, morals, and taste, and the development of political economy in the mid-eighteenth century. These essays represent not only those areas where Hume's arguments are revealingly typical of his day, but also where he is

strikingly innovative in a period already famous for its great thinkers.
