| Sumario: | The question concerning the nature of “true philosophy” is a constant
in Hume’s philosophical enquiry. The present paper revisits the Conclusion
of Book i of the Treatise of Human Nature, a crucial piece of writing
to understand his answer to that question. In this dramatic section, the
author narrates the crisis he suffered after confronting his science of human
nature with sceptical arguments. I interpret Hume’s narrative as a
phenomenological description of the flux of passions, dispositions, and
transformers which, after reflection, determine the transit from false to
true philosophy, that will be justified by sceptical motives. Hume’s voyage
shouldn’t be read only as an autobiographical experience since it represents
the desired turn that should be followed by anyone who feels inclined
towards philosophy, in order to discover both the utility and the
pleasure derived from its practice. |
