The Vision of Hume - Brossura

Hume, David

 
9781852308506: The Vision of Hume

Sinossi

There is no such thing as a rational belief. In all the incidents of life we ought to preserve our scepticism. Hume's ideas about the nature of certainty revolutionized Western philosophy. This radical mind discovered a 'missing step' in 18th century thinking, and brought to the fore an 'observational awareness' that restrains the mind's tendency to go beyond actual experience.
This fascinating introduction to Hume's philosophy, with extensive excerpts from his writings, offers insights into his theories of causation, impression, innate ideas, personal identity, free choice, ethics, sympathy, justice, religion and divine design.
