Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed "are clear, concise and
accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that
students and readers can find especially challenging. Concentrating
specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to
fathom, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas,
guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding
material. David Hume is arguably one of the most important
philosophers ever to have written in English. His monumental
contributions to epistemology and metaphysics, represented in his
two landmark works, A Treatise of Human Nature" and An Enquiry
Concerning Human Understanding," were hugely influential on both
sides of the Atlantic. Yet he is also notorious as a puzzling and
difficult thinker and students of his work and thought regularly
face very particular intellectual challenges. Hume: A Guide for the
Perplexed" is a clear and thorough account of Hume's philosophy,
his major works and ideas, providing an ideal guide to the
important and complex thought of this key philosopher. The book
covers the whole range of Hume's work, offering examination of the
key areas of his thought, including the origin and association of
ideas, space and time, causal (inductive) reasoning, necessary
connexions, free will, personal identity, and skepticism. Geared
towards the specific requirements of students who need to reach a
sound understanding of Hume's thought, the book provides a cogent
and reliable survey of his work and ideas. This is the ideal
companion to the study of this most influential and challenging of
philosophers.
