Beginning with an overview of Hume's life and work, Don Garrett
introduces in clear and accessible style the central aspects of
Hume's thought. These include Hume's lifelong exploration of the
human mind; his theories of inductive inference and causation;
skepticism and personal identity; moral and political philosophy;
aesthetics; and philosophy of religion. The final chapter considers
the influence and legacy of Hume's thought today. Throughout,
Garrett draws on and explains many of Hume's central works,
including his Treatise of Human Nature, Enquiries Concerning Human
Understanding, and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion. Hume is
essential reading not only for students of philosophy, but anyone
in the humanities and social sciences and beyond seeking an
introduction to Hume's thought.
