If I read his shorter works on epistemology and morals, is there any reason for reading A Treatise of Human Nature?

Epistemology is the only legitimate branch of philosophy.

If we assume that we have free will, and because of the is-ought gap, then how is one supposed to act? To anyone, all basis, or reasons for actions, are ''is'', and are therefore invalid as basis for action. However, if we search for an ''ought'', there can be no justification for choosing one over another, and none can be shown to be true or valid. Therefore, there is no reason to morally condemn Stalin or Hitler.

Moreover, if we act on the basis of things others than ''ought'', like desires, than how can someone choose to act on the basis of one desire, but not another, seeing as both desires, are, for you, facts, they are ''is''?
