Of all of Hume's writings, the philosophically most profound is undoubtedly his first, A Treatise of Human Nature. Of the three books that make up the Treatise, the first, in which he outlines the epistemology and metaphysics underpinning his system, is universally acknowledged to be his greatest intellectual achievement."--BOOK JACKET.
