| Abstract
|
:
|
Beginning with an overview of Hume's life and work, Don Garrett introduces the central aspects of Hume's thought in a clear and accessible style. These include: Hume's lifelong exploration of the human mind; his theories of inductive inference and causation; skepticism and personal identity; moral and political philosophy; aesthetics; and philosophy of religion. The final chapter considers the influence and legacy of Hume's thought today. Throughout, Garrett draws on and explains many of Hume's central works, including his A Treatise of Human Nature, An Enquiries Concerning Human Understanding, An Enquiry concerning the Principles of Morals, and Dialogues concerning Natural Religion. Hume is essential reading not only for students of philosophy, but for anyone in the humanities and social sciences and beyond seeking an introduction to Hume's thought. Book jacket
