Theory and Practice in the Philosophy of David Hume

More about the book

The book presents a fresh interpretation of Hume's philosophy, emphasizing the connection between theory and practice. It posits that Hume's Essays and History reflect a humanist practical philosophy, which evolves from the more speculative ideas found in A Treatise of Human Nature and the Enquiries. Through this lens, the author explores how Hume's work integrates human experience with philosophical inquiry, offering insights into the implications of his thought for contemporary philosophical discussions.
