Description

David Hume's concept of imagination has long been recognised as a central aspect of his philosophy. In this comprehensive study, Timothy Costelloe provides a detailed exploration of Hume's understanding of imagination and its role in shaping his broader philosophical framework. Costelloe's analysis reveals the coherence and distinctiveness of Hume's imaginative faculties, shedding light on how they inform his approaches to metaphysics, morals, politics, aesthetics, history, religion, and philosophy itself. By examining the features that comprise Hume's concept of imagination, Costelloe offers a nuanced understanding of this key aspect of Hume's thought. This book provides a rich and detailed exploration of Hume's imaginative faculties, making it an essential resource for scholars and students of philosophy.
