Abstract: It is a productive research path to take natural science as knowledge paradigm, thus regarding Hume as an empiricist epistemological philosopher, but which clouds further study of Hume. By a thorough and integrated study of Hume, we find that Hume takes establishing genuine human science as the final goal, starts from reconstruction in philosophy and establishment of philosophy of common life, then discovers a narrative structure and historicity of ideas and existence at the ontological level, and finally settles in political philosophy of conservatism. In this way, the image of Hume in the heart of countrymen will acquire a completely new outlook, which would provide a new way of thinking of the value and inspiration of Hume’s philosophy.

Key words: Hume, true philosophy, narrative structure, historicity, conservatism
