Description:

It is widely believed that Hume often wrote carelessly and contradicted himself, and that no unified, sound philosophy emerges from his writings. Through a careful examination of Hume's views about understanding and cognition, Garrett demonstrates that such criticisms of Hume are without basis and that Hume presents a rich philosophy with historical importance and contemporary significance.

Synopsis:

It is widely believed that Hume often wrote carelessly and contradicted himself, and that no unified, sound philosophy emerges from his writings. Don Garrett demonstrates that such criticisms of Hume are without basis. Offering fresh and trenchant solutions to longstanding problems in Hume studies, Garrett's penetrating analysis also makes clear the continuing relevance of Hume's philosophy.
