What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Hume gives us probably the only comprehensive statement of the legal and political philosophy which later became known as liberalism... Hume's History did probably as much to spread Whig liberalism throughout Europe in the eighteenth century as Macaulay's History did in the nineteenth." in the context of "Friedrich Hayek, 'The Legal and Political Philosophy of David Hume' (18 July 1963), in Studies in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (1967), pp. 109-110" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
