Description
David Owen explores Hume's account of reason and its role in human understanding, seen in the context of other notable accounts by philosophers of the early modern period. This book offers new interpretations of many of Hume's most famous arguments.
Hume's Reason will be illuminating not just to historians of modern philosophy but to all philosophers who are concerned with the workings of human cognition. The book provides a fresh perspective on Hume's ideas about demonstration, the relation of ideas, induction, belief, and scepticism.
