A Treatise of Human Nature - Volume 2

Why do we feel pride in our possessions, or envy at a neighbor's success? David Hume’s second volume of the *Treatise* deconstructs the machinery of human emotion, revealing the hidden laws that govern our desires, our will, and our social bonds. Readers will discover a revolutionary 'science of man' that argues reason is not our master, but the 'slave' of our passions.
