Scottish philosopher David Hume is a prominent early figure among philosophers who sought a naturalistic grounding for moral norms. Although he addressed a wide range of topics, Hume's writings represent the outworking of an ambitious philosophical and scientific program to understand the world, especially human thought and action, in entirely naturalistic terms. Anderson summarizes the major points of Hume's thought and offers a critical assessment from a distinctively Reformed perspective.
