Hah. The Treatise is even more modest, Scottish Enlightenment cum British modesty and all. It's been a while since I've read it, but there he goes along the lines of arguing for human nature as it is customarily held, folk ways, while undermining folk ways and starting a self-refuting process of empiricist epistemology. It's bizarre. The one good thing about the Enquiry is you don't get bored by endless repetitions by Hume, even if you get to see some interesting messiness in the Treatise. So Hume appeals, finally, to a folk-ways based moderate skepticism about criticisms about human nature.

What's even worse is how utterly beguiled by subjective consciousness Hume is. Worse, he wants to eradicate any distinction between mind and world, but he leaves us with free floating bundles of impressions with...nowhere really to go. It's a deeply impoverished attempt at destructuring metaphysics.
