Produktbeschreibung

David Hume's philosophical work presents the reader with a perplexing mix of constructive accounts of empirically guided belief and destructive sceptical arguments against all belief. This book reconciles this conflict by showing that Hume intended his scepticism to be remedial.

Rezensionen

"A carefully crafted and detailed examination of some problems in Hume's philosophy that have not received the attention they deserve. Falkenstein has provided an exacting analysis of the various relations between time, space and the mind in Hume's philosophy, a gift to Hume scholarship."

Wade Robison, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA

"This book is an original, deep, and unfailingly valuable interpretation and interrogation of central aspects of Hume's epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind. It merits and rewards close study."

Don Garrett, New York University, USA
