The studies seeking to do justice to David Hume are numerous among contemporary researchers, especially Norman Kemp Smith. They believe Hume's endeavor encompasses not just a theory of knowledge, but also an ambitious project: a theory of emotions and a system of values and ethics. In fact, Hume entered the world of philosophy through the gateway of morality. This book represents an attempt at empirical reasoning in moral issues and matters of value, a view also shared by Russell. Accordingly, Dr. Madian aims to reconsider the treatise by employing an analytical methodology to examine the role of reason in the field of ethics and values, and to provide a comprehensive reading that sees morality not merely as an application of Hume's epistemology, but as the very purpose of his work.
