Beskrivning
This is the first volume of the series Oxford Studies in the History of Philosophy. Each volume of the series is organized around a particular theme, and is cross-disciplinary in its approach. In this collection of substantial new studies in Scottish Philosophy in the age of Hutcheson and Hume, close attention is given to the study of context and the use of original historical sources as a key to philosophical interpretation. The collection includes revolutionary research on Hume's early reading in science and religion and its impact on his philosophy.

Recensioner i media

`In a striking paragraph the editor dismisses the typical "history of philosophy" as "vicarious and unmemorable philosophical exercises of an entirely modern kind, fought out round a narrow, generally derivative, and frequently fanciful picture of at least one dead philosopher". What are substituted here are detailed, painstaking approaches to interpretation through the study of a wide variety of primary sources ... adds greatly to our understanding of the period.'Times Literary Supplement
