Beskrivning

Terence Penelhum has since the 1950s been a leading contributor to studies of the thought of David Hume; he now presents a selection of the best of his essays on Hume, most of them quite recent, three of them previously unpublished. The central themes of the book are selfhood, the will, and religious belief. Penelhum's view of Hume will be fascinating for all who work on these themes, whether from an eighteenth-century or a twentieth-century perspective.

Recensioner i media

Quite apart from his distinction as a philosopher of religion, Terence Penelhum is among the most accomplished of contemporary Hume scholars. This wonderfully well-written, intelligent and thought-provoking book begins with a masterly summary of the outlines of Hume's thought, and the reasons for its importance. Someone who wanted to come seriously to grips with Hume - and no intellectual task is more worthwhile - could not do better than start from here.
