Description
Hume's Philosophical Politics by Duncan Forbes is a comprehensive study of David Hume's political thought. Drawing on his extensive writings in their original and revised versions, Forbes examines Hume's ideas within the historical context of 18th-century politics. This work presents Hume's philosophical system as an innovative, empirically-based approach to politics, developed for a radical post-revolutionary age. It also explores how Hume's political education could be applied to party men who were focused on traditional interests. By considering Hume's ideas alongside those of his predecessors and contemporaries, Forbes sheds new light on the development of modern political thought.
