Title: Hume's Natural Philosophy and Philosophy of Physical Science
Description: "This book contextualizes David Hume's philosophy of physical science, exploring both Hume's background in the history of early modern natural philosophy and its subsequent impact on the scientific tradition. Drawing on topics including experimentalism, causation, laws of nature, metaphysics of forces, mathematics' relation to nature, and the concepts of space and time, it deepens our understanding of Hume's relation to natural philosophy. It does so in addition by situating Hume's thought within the context of other major philosophers, including Descartes, Locke, Boyle and Kant, and scientists including Newton and Leibniz"--
