Book Synopsis
This text stresses the importance of Hume's "An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding" not only as a philosophical text in its own right, but also as a starting point for developing an understanding of broader philosophical issues. Taking in such thinkers as Pierce, Wittgenstein, Frege and Ryle, the book is written as a companion volume to the "Inquiry". First published in 1961, this is a reprint of the corrected 1966 edition.

Trade Review
'I think very highly of the book. It has scholarship and fire. Almost a record.' - Gilbert Ryle '[A]dmirably clear to read . . . he ought to give sufficient food for thought to any worthwhile student, and make him read the Inquiry more profitably.' - Mind 'Any subsequent discussion of Hume's secularism will have to begin with Flew.' - John Passmore, The Philosophical Review
