Oxford Handbook of Hume - Paperback
by Paul Russell (Editor)
The Scottish philosopher David Hume (1711-1776) is widely regarded as the greatest and most significant English-speaking philosopher and often seen as having had the most influence on the way philosophy is practiced today in the West. His reputation is based not only on the quality of his philosophical thought but also on the breadth and scope of his writings, which ranged over metaphysics, epistemology, morals, politics, religion, and aesthetics.
The Handbook's 38 newly commissioned chapters are divided into six parts: Central Themes; Metaphysics and Epistemology; Passion, Morality and Politics; Aesthetics, History, and Economics; Religion; Hume and the Enlightenment; and After Hume. The volume also features an introduction from editor Paul Russell and a chapter on Hume's biography.
Paul Russell is Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia and Lund University, where he is also Director of the Lund Gothenburg Responsibility Project. His previous publications include The Limits of Free Will (OUP 2017), The Riddle of Hume's Treatise: Skepticism, Naturalism, and Irreligion (OUP 2008) and Freedom and Moral Sentiment: Hume's Way of Naturalizing Responsibility (OUP 1995).
