Hume's "New Scene of Thought," is a defense of Hume's philosophical
principles in the Treatise of Human Nature. Nelson shows that
Hume's new philosophy was a uniquely original and profound work, a
masterpiece in philosophical literature, and a work worthy of
serious study and acceptance. Expounding on the meaning that Hume
gives to his new science of man founded on an empirical foundation,
it is shown that all the sciences were, in effect, nothing more
than branches of "introspective psychology." The thesis of The
Several faces of David Hume in The Dialogues Concerning Natural
Religion is that Dialogues is a reflective philosophical
autobiography of Hume himself. Every character represents Hume at
some stage in his life: Pamphilus is Hume at fifteen, and Philo is
Hume in his adult philosophical maturity. Cleanthes is Bishop
Butler but also Hume, when Hume was under the sway of Butler's
writings as a young man. Demea represents the orthodox religious
views that Hume was raised on, which Hume rejected by his
eighteenth year.
In his study of the civilian population that fell victim to the
brutality of the 1860s Kansas Indian wars, Jeff Broome recounts the
captivity of Susanna Alderdice, who was killed along with three of
her children by her Cheyenne captors (known as Dog Soldiers) at the
Battle of Summit Springs in July 1869, and of her four-year-old
son, who was wounded then left for dead.
