For decades scholars thought they knew Hume's position on the
existence of causes and objects - he was a sceptic. However, this
received view has been thrown into question by the 'new' readings
of Hume as a sceptical realist.
For philosophers, students of philosophy and others interested
in theories of causation and their history, The New Hume Debate is
the first book to fully document the most influential contemporary
readings of Hume's work. Throughout, the volume brings the debate
beyond textual issues in Hume to contemporary philosophical issues
concerning causation and knowledge of the external world and issue
in the history of philosophy, offering the reader a model for
scholarly debate.
This revised paperback edition includes three new chapters by
Janet Broughton, Peter Kail and Peter Millican.
Contributors: Kenneth A. Richman, Barry Stroud, Galen Strawson,
Kenneth P. Winkler, John P. Wright, Simon Blackburn, Edward Craig,
Martin Bell, Daniel Flage, Anne Jaap Jacobson, Rupert Read, Janet
Broughton, Peter Millican, Peter Kail.
