Book Description
Hume's Naturalism provides a clear and concise guide to the debates over whether Hume's empiricism or his 'naturalism' in the tradition of the Scottish 'Common Sense' school of philosophy gained his upper hand. This debate is central to any understanding of Hume's thought. H.O. Mounce presents a beautifully clear guide to Hume's most important works, The Treatise on Human Nature and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. Accessible to anyone coming to Hume for the first time, Hume's Naturalism affords a much needed overview of the key concepts of empiricism, causation, scepticism, reason and morality that are essential to any understanding of Hume's philosophy.
Review
"This book is interesting, perceptive and well-written . . . Its arguments serve as a healthy corrective to the tendency to gloss over Hume's inconsistencies, while continuing to recognize his power and originality." -- Terence Penelhum, University of Calgary
About the Author
