| Abstract
|
:
|
The Scottish philosopher and historian David Hume (1711-1776) has often been regarded as a key Enlightenment thinker. However, his image has been long contested by those who consider him a conservative and those who see him as a key liberal thinker. Ryu Susato offers a new interpretation for such diverse images and demonstrates Hume's uniqueness as an Enlightenment thinker, illustrating how his 'spirit of scepticism' often leads him into seemingly paradoxical positions.
