David Hume
Edited by Bridger Ehli (Indiana University, Bloomington)
About this topic
| Summary | David Hume (1711-1776) was a Scottish thinker who made substantial contributions to the fields of epistemology, metaphysics, religion, mind, aesthetics, morals, politics, history and economics. He is traditionally classified as one of the three most important British empiricists along with John Locke (1632-1704) and George Berkeley (1685-1753). |
| Key works |
Hume’s major philosophical works include A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-1740), An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (1748), An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals (1751) and Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1779). Oxford has recent scholarly editions of the Treatise (Norton & Norton 2007), the Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (Beauchamp 2000), and the Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals (Beauchamp 1998). Editions of the Dialogues include Coleman 2007, Gaskin 1998/2009 and Kemp Smith 1935. Hume also wrote numerous essays on a variety of topics collected together in Essays, Moral, Political and Literary (Beauchamp & Box 2022, Miller 1987) and a six-volume History of England (1754-1761) (Todd 1983). |
| Introductions | There are many introductions and anthologies on Hume’s works. Select introductory works include Blackburn 2008, Brown & Morris 2012, Garrett 2015 and Wright 2009. For more comprehensive anthologies see Ainslie & Butler 2014, Bailey & O'Brien 2012, Coventry & Sager 2019, Norton & Taylor 1993, Radcliffe 2008, Russell 2016 and Traiger 2006.

- Individuality, Individuation, Subjectivity in Early Modern Philosophy.Andrea Strazzoni (ed.) - 2015 - Arad: „Vasile Goldiş” University Press.For generations of scholars the emergence of the notion of human subjectivity has marked the shift to philosophical modernity. Mainly traced back to Descartes’s founding of philosophy on the Cogito and to Kant’s ‘Copernican Revolution’, the rise of subjectivity has been linked to the rise of the modern age in terms of a reconsideration of reality starting from an analysis of the human self and consciousness. Consequently, it has been related to long-standing issues of identity, individuation and individuality as a (...)
- The Role of Philosophy in Hume’s Critique of Empire.Elena Yi-Jia Zeng - forthcoming - International Journal of Philosophical Studies:1-22.The British Empire found itself in uncharted territory during the global competition over military and commercial hegemony in the eighteenth century. Many thinkers questioned the wisdom of empire by comparing Britain’s overseas expansion with the fate of ancient Rome and the government’s controversial colonial policy. David Hume distinguished himself from these critical voices by adopting a detached philosophical approach. His detachment nonetheless ended in scepticism. This article reconstructs Hume’s doubts about empire in order to illuminate the way philosophy interacts with (...)
- Liberté et nécessité chez Hume.Benoît Gide - 2023 - Archives de Philosophie 86 (3):47-70.En quel sens le scepticisme causal de Hume permet-il la solution qu’il revendique au problème de la liberté et de la nécessité? D’abord, on soutient qu’une interprétation épistémologique (et non sémantique) de ce scepticisme suffit au nécessitarisme proposé. Ensuite, on soutient que, parce qu’il s’accompagne d’une explication naturaliste de l’inférence, ce scepticisme rend raison de l’imputation morale requise par la défense d’un compatibilisme. Le caractère sceptique de ce naturalisme permet de qualifier l’ensemble du propos humien de solution sceptique de réconciliation.
- Hume et la question de la nature de la croyance.Richard Glauser - 2023 - Archives de Philosophie 86 (3):29-46.(1) Alors que Hume distingue plusieurs sortes de propositions, nous expliquons pourquoi il se focalise sur l’inférence causale lorsqu’il examine la nature de la croyance. (2) Après avoir considéré les réponses qu’il écarte concernant la nature de la croyance, nous étudions sa solution. (3) Nous dégageons les implications de sa position, dirigée entre autres contre la théorie cartésienne du jugement. (4) Une interprétation du rôle asymétrique de la croyance par rapport aux passions et à l’action est proposée. (5) La position (...)
- Hume et la question du sujet de la connaissance.Lucien Ayissi - 2015 - Yaoundé: L'Harmattan.La réflexion philosophique qui se déploie dans cet essai porte sur la question de savoir si l'empirisme de Hume fait vraiment le deuil du sujet de la connaissance. Dans le cas contraire, quelle peut être la nature du rapport du sujet humien aux sujets cartésien et kantien? D'après l'auteur de cet essai, l'empirisme de Hume ne sonne pas totalement le glas du sujet de la connaissance, car si le sujet y brille d'abord par sa passivité, il finit par donner la (...)
