David Hume is famous for the elegance of his prose, for his radical empiricism, for his skepticism of religion, for his critical account of causation, for his naturalistic theory of mind, for his thesis that “reason is...the slave of the passions,” and for waking Immanuel Kant from his “dogmatic slumber,” as Kant himself admitted.
