, who is best known today for his highly influential system of philosophical

John Locke
,
George Berkeley
,
Francis Bacon
and
Thomas Hobbes

British Empiricist

Beginning with his
A Treatise of Human Nature
(1738), Hume strove to create a total naturalistic
science of man
that examined the psychological basis of human nature. Against philosophical
rationalists
, Hume held that passion rather than reason governs human behaviour. Hume argued against the existence of
innate ideas
, positing that all human knowledge is founded solely in
experience
.
