Philosopher who wrote "A Treatise of Human Nature"

I believe the answer is:

hume

(Other definitions for hume that I've seen before include "Scottish philosopher" , "David ---, philosopher; Basil ---, late Cardinal" , "2 [PHILOSOPHER]" , "Nobel laureate" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
