A. Stewart About this work An Enquiry concerning thePrinciples of Morals was Humes third great philosophical work, first published in 1751. Humes aim in this elegant and lucid work was to present in an accessible way his theory of the foundation of morality in human nature, which had developed significantly since he first addressed the subject in the Treatise of Human Nature (1739/40). He discusses moral psychology; freedom, necessity, and causation; practical reasoning; justice; virtues and other moral qualities. Heconsidered this Enquiry to be of all my writings, historical, philosophical, or literary, incomparably the best.
