Reviews for David Hume's Humanity
“David Hume’s Humanity: The Philosophy of Common Life and Its Limits … not only presents a synoptic vision of Hume’s thought, but also argues that an amended version of it remains vital and relevant today – especially to political philosophy.” (Nathan Sasser,Journal of Scottish Philosophy, Vol. 17 (1), 2019)
