Reprinted in W.V.O. Hume - A Treatise of Human Nature. Hume: Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. MORAL philosophy, or the science of human nature, may be treated after two different manners; each of which has its peculiar merit, and may contribute to the entertainment, instruction, and reformation of mankind.

All Things Shining, it's called, and maybe that sounds too optimistic for a book whose ambition is partly to explain how the various heavy hitters of human understanding wound up giving mankind a self-image that "destroys the possibility of a meaningful and worthwhile existence.
