David Hume was a Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, historian, economist, librarian and essayist, who is best known today for his highly influential system of philosophical empiricism, skepticism, and naturalism. Beginning with A Treatise of Human Nature (1739–40), Hume strove to create a naturalistic science of man that examined the psychological basis of human nature.
Hume was born on 26 April 1711 (Old Style), as David Home, in a tenement on the northside of Edinburgh’s Lawnmarket. He was the second of two sons to Joseph Home of Chirnside in the County of Berwick, an advocate of Ninewells, and wife Catherine Home (née Falconer), daughter of Sir David Falconer of Newton and wife Mary Falconer (née Norvell). Joseph died just after David’s second birthday. Catherine, who never remarried, raised the two brothers and their sister on her own.
Hume changed his family name’s spelling in 1734, as the surname ‘Home’ (pronounced like ‘Hume’) was not well-known in England. Hume never married and lived partly at his Chirnside family home in Berwickshire, which had belonged to the family since the 16th century. His finances as a young man were very “slender”, as his family was not rich and, as a younger son, he had little patrimony to live on.
