Description
Book SynopsisAgainst the charges that Hume holds no consistent philosophical position, offers no constructive account of rationality, and sees no positive relation between philosophy and other areas of inquiry, Claudia Schmidt argues for the overall coherence of Hume's thought as a study of "reason in history."
Trade Review“A courageous and valuable attempt to see Hume whole—to see the unity and consistency in his broad-ranging work as a philosopher, political analyst, economist, historian, and critic of religion.”
—David Fate Norton,McGill University and the University of Victoria, Co-General Editor of The Clarendon Edition of the Works of David Hume
“So, even a remarkable effort cannot produce a book that is everything to everybody. There is something here, however, for almost everyone.”
—Margaret Watkins Tate Review of Politics
