Impressions of Hume presents new essays from leading scholars in
different philosophical, historiographical, and literary traditions
to which Hume made defining contributions. Hume has made a variety
of impressions on these different areas; his writings,
philosophical and otherwise, may indeed be read in a number of
different ways. For example, they can be taken as transparent
vehicles for philosophical intuitions, problems, and arguments that
are still at the centre of philosophical reflection today. On the
other hand, there are readings which are interested in locating
Hume's views against the background of concerns, debates and
discussions of Hume's own time. And this is not all. Hume's texts
may be read as highly sophisticated literary-cum-philosophical
creations: in such cases, the reader's attention tends to be
directed at issues of genre and persuasive strategies rather than
on argument. Or they may be regarded as moments in the construction
of the ideology of modernity, and as contributions to the
legitimation of a given social order. As the true classics that
they are, Hume's works are typical 'open texts', which present
their readers of all provenances with a bounty of materials and
inspirations. It is the editors' conviction that the borders
between these approaches are far from neat; and that as much
cross-fertilization as possible is to be promoted. Impressions of
Hume amply demonstrates the rewards of such an approach.
