| Sumario: | "David Hume (1711-1776) is generally regarded as the greatest philosopher ever to write in English. His original contributions to a wide range of philosophical debates, including the debates about causation, morality, free will, and intelligent design, are as important and influential today as they were in the eighteenth century. Starting with Hume guides readers through a systematic overview of the development of Hume's thought, his central arguments, and the historical and philosophical contexts of the debates to which he contributed. The book provides a comprehensive and lucid account of the ways he reshaped and transformed these debates, explaining his distinctive approach to the way he believed philosophy should be done, his philosophical method, and his account of human nature. Starting with Hume is a substantive but genuinely accessible introductory survey of the major contributions of this seminal figure in the history of philosophy. It is written for anyone approaching Hume -- and philosophy -- for the first time"--Provided by publisher. |
