Hume's 'New Scene of Thought' and the Several Faces of David Hume in the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion

Beschreibung

This book is a defense of Hume's philosophical principles in the Treatise of Human Nature. Nelson shows that Hume's new philosophy was a uniquely original and profound masterpiece in philosophical literature, worthy of serious study and acceptance. It is argued that Dialoguesis a reflective philosophical autobiography of Hume himself.
