Юм. Сочинения в двух томах. Том 1

26 апреля 1711 года в Эдинбурге родился Давид Юм. Жизнь Юма прошла в эпоху, когда торгово-промышленная буржуазия и богатые землевладельцы пожинали плоды "славной" революции 1688 г.

Nothing is more requisite for a true philosopher, than to restrain the intemperate desire of searching into causes, and having established any doctrine upon a sufficient number of experiments, rest contented with that, when he sees a farther examination would lead him into obscure and uncertain speculations.
