A central problem for the non-specialist reader over the works of
Hume today is that his ellifluous 18th century prose appears
strange to our eyes and ears... What follows, therefore, is what
the present editors did about it. The central purpose is to open to
Hume's original target audience his writings on religious affairs;
a subject which was of central importance to him - and which
remains of perennial interest to humankind. David Hume's writings
on history, politics and philosophy have shaped thought to this
day. His bold scepticism ranged from common notions of the 'self'
to criticism of standard theistic proofs. He insisted on grounding
understandings of popular religious beliefs in human psychology
rather than divine revelation, and he aimed to disentangle
philosophy from religion in order to allow the former to pursue its
own ends. In this book, Professors David W Purdie and Peter S Fosl
decipher some of Hume's most challenging texts for the modern
reader, while preserving the sharp intellect and undaunted nerve
for which Hume is famous. Hume's spirit is brought alive for
contemporary times and his writing is made accessible for its
intended audience: the general public.
