An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals
David Hume
Hume considered it the best thing he ever wrote. The Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals locates morality not in reason alone but in sentiment: benevolence, justice, and the qualities useful and agreeable to ourselves and others. Elegant, skeptical, endlessly quotable philosophy from the great Scot. If you read one moral treatise from the eighteenth century, make it his.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
