|Title=The Cambridge Companion to Hume, Second Edition
|Resource Type=collection
|Author=David Norton, Jacqueline Taylor,
|Year=2009
|Abstract=Each Cambridge Companion to a philosophical figure is made
up of specially commissioned essays by an international team
of scholars, providing students and nonspecialists with an introduction
to a major philosopher. The series aims to dispel the
intimidation that readers may feel when faced with the work of
a challenging thinker.
David Hume is now considered one of the most important
philosophers of the Western world. Although best known for his
contributions to the theory of knowledge, metaphysics, and philosophy
of religion, Hume also influenced developments in the
philosophy of mind, psychology, ethics, political and economic
theory, political and social history, and aesthetic theory. The fifteen
essays in this volume address all aspects of Hume’s thought.
The picture of him that emerges is that of a thinker who, though
often critical to the point of skepticism, was nonetheless able to
build on that skepticism a constructive, viable, and profoundly
important view of the world. Also included in this volume are
Hume’s two brief autobiographies and a bibliography suited to
those beginning their study of Hume.
This second edition of one of our most popular Companions
includes six new essays and a new introduction; the remaining
essays have all been revised and updated.
