Title: Understanding Hume
Description: David Hume was one of the most signincant thinkers of the eighteenth century and his philosophical writings encompass the major themes of his subject: epistemology, philosophy of mind, metaphysics, ethics, political philosophy and the philosophy of religion. In Understanding Hume the standard problems posed by these topics are introduced and explored in the context of eighteenth-century thought and as they relate to contemporary philosophy.

The discussion is not over-complicated by arcane minutiae or narrowly-focussed exegesis. Instead, written in jargon-free language, this is an ideal introduction not only to the often difficult writings of David Hume, but also to the main areas of modern philosophical debate
