Sinopsis

A splendid edition. SchneewindâÇÖs illuminating introduction succinctly situates the Enquiry in its historical context, clarifying its relationship to Calvinism, to Newtonian science, and to earlier moral philosophers, and providing a persuasive account of HumeâÇÖs ethical naturalism.áYet several writers who have honoured the AuthorâÇÖs Philosophy with answers, have taken care to direct all their batteries against that juvenile work, which the author never acknowledged, and have affected to triumph in any advantages, which, they imagined, they had obtained over it: A practice very contrary to all rules of candour and fair-dealing, and a strong instance of those polemical artifices which a bigotted zeal thinks itself authorized to employ.áHenceforth, the Author desires, that the following Pieces may alone be regarded as containing his philosophical sentiments and principles.
