In this compelling analysis David Pears examines the foundations of
Hume's theory of the mind as presented in the first book of the
Treatise. Past studies have tended to take one of two extreme
views: that Hume relies exclusively on a theory of meaning, or that
he relies exclusively on a theory of truth and evidence. Steering a
middle course between these positions, Pears argues that Hume's
theory of ideas serves both functions. He examines in detail its
application to three difficult problems: causation, personal
identity, and sense perception. Hume's solutions, Pears argues, are
not theories that can be given a place in standard classification
of philosophical theories, but rather depend upon a subtle form of
naturalism not altogether unlike Wittgenstein's naturalism. A
clearly written and argued study, Hume's System will be of special
interest to students and scholars of the history of philosophy.
