Projection and Realism in Hume's Philosophy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Hume is held to have taught that causal power and self are projections, that God is a projection of our fear, and that value is a projection of sentiment. In Projection and Realism in Hume's Philosophy, P. J. E. Kail provides a fresh interpretation of this metaphor and uses it to shed new light on some of Hume's central ideas.
