Description
The New Hume Debate: Revised Edition by Rupert Read and Kenneth Richman For decades, scholars have debated David Hume's views on causes and objects. However, recent interpretations have challenged the traditional understanding of his sceptical position. This revised edition brings together leading philosophers to explore the most influential contemporary readings of Hume's work. The New Hume Debate provides a comprehensive model for scholarly debate, covering not only textual issues but also broader philosophical concerns such as causation and knowledge of the external world. The book includes three new chapters by prominent contributors, further enriching our understanding of Hume's ideas. This revised paperback edition offers a valuable resource for philosophers, students of philosophy, and anyone interested in theories of causation and their history.
