Trade Review

“What is best in this collection is that it focused attention on some of the often neglected aspects of Hume’s philosophy. Given that feminists are concerned with exposing and investigating what is overlooked, this uncovering may be what is most centrally feminist about the book. It also succeeds, as Jacobson urges in her introduction, in encouraging readers to ask more questions, to continue the discussion and to find new and creative ways of reading Hume.”

—Miriam McCormick Philosophy in Review


“Just one of these contributions would make the collection significant; that it delivers both makes it a must-have for both feminists theorists and Hume scholars.”

—Catherine Kemp Hypatia
