David Hume Regarded As A Philosopher Who Made History ?
David Hume wrote books on philosophy and history . He regarded as the greatest philosopher to have written in the English language .
Hume was born in Scotland to a minor land owning family . He was born in 1711 . Hume shifted to Northern France . His "Treatise on Human Nature" was published in 1739 . He returned to Edinburgh, and wrote several Essays;Moral and Political in 1742.
However , both these works were rejected by the public . So Hume wrote his two "Enquiries" which present the same ideas as in "Treatise" but in a more reader friendly manner . His History of England made Hume popular . He was best known as a historian during his lifetime .
