Description
David Hume's Sceptical Enlightenment offers a fresh perspective on the complex and often contradictory nature of this key Enlightenment thinker. By examining Hume's 'spirit of scepticism', Ryu Susato sheds new light on his unique position within the intellectual landscape of 17th- to 19th-century Europe. This book is of particular interest to scholars of philosophy, intellectual historians, and those seeking a nuanced understanding of the Enlightenment period. Susato's interpretation challenges prevailing views of Hume as either conservative or liberal, revealing instead a thinker whose sceptical nature often led him into paradoxical positions.
