First published in 1954, and updated in 1980, this excellent life story is now reissued in paperback, in response to an overwhelming interest in Hume's brilliant ideas. Containing more than a simple biography, this exemplary work is also a study of intellectual reaction in the eighteenth century. In this new edition are a detailed bibliography, index, and textual supplements, making it the perfect text for scholars and advanced students of Hume, epistemology, and the history of philosophy. It is also ideal for historians and literary scholars working on the eighteenth century, and for anyone with an interest in philosophy.   Preview this book » What people are saying - Write a review User Review - Flag as inappropriate"The standard modern biography" - Simon Blackburn Selected pages Table of Contents Index References Contents BOYHOOD AT NINEWELLS 20 STUDENT DAYS AT EDINBURGH 35 LAW VERSUS LITERATURE 52 DISEASE OF THE LEARNED 66 RECOVERY THROUGH CATHARSIS 81 TRANQUILLITY IN FRANCE 92 FEVER OF PUBLICATION 106 A TREATISE OF HUMAN NATURE 117 FOUR DISSERTATIONS 319 DRUM ECCLESIASTIC 336 SCOTLANDS AUGUSTANS 370 Studies in the Country 379 THE INDIFFERENCE OF ENGLAND 390 SCOTLAND FOR EVER? 409 THE CALL OF FRANCE 423 THE ADULATION OF FRANCE 441 More ESSAYS MORAL AND POLITICAL 134 ACADEMIC ILLUSION 153 THE UNFORTUNATE TUTOR 165 SPECTATOR TO A REBELLION 177 A MILITARY CAMPAIGN 187 A MILITARY EMBASSY 207 ACHIEVEMENT OF AMBITION 223 LEISURE AND LAUGHTER 232 CITIZEN OF EDINBURGH 240 2O POLITICAL DISCOURSES 257 PAX ECCLESIASTICA 272 THE OPPOSITION GATHERS 286 THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND 301 THE COMTESSE DE BOUFFLERS 456 THE PHILOSOPHES 475 EMBASSY SECRETARY 489 JEANJACQUES ROUSSEAU 507 UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE 533 AUTUMNAL SERENITY 559 DISTURBERS OF THE PEACE 577 DEATH COMES FOR THE PHILOSOPHER 589 THE DIGNITY OF HUMAN NATURE 604 A Humes My Own Life 611 Rankenian Club 617 Textual Supplement 628 Copyright Less Other editions - View all The Life of David Hume Ernest Campbell Mossner Snippet view - 1980 Common terms and phrases Adam already answer appeared attention become believe Book called cause century character complete concerning continued copy course David Hume early Edinburgh edition England English Essays evidence express fact finally France French further give hand Henry History Home hope human human nature Hume's important interest James John known Lady late later learned least letter Library literary live London Lord manner March matter means meeting mind moral nature never Ninewells observed once opinion original Paris perhaps period philosopher Political present principles probably Professor published question Ramsay reason received regard Religion remained remark Review Rousseau Scotland Scots Scottish seems Smith Society soon tell thing thought took Town Treatise University volume writing wrote young References to this book The Enlightenment in America Henry Farnham May,Matt May,Professor Henry Farnham May Snippet view - 1976 Evil in Modern Thought: An Alternative History of Philosophy Susan Neiman No preview available - 2004 All Book Search results » About the author (2001) E.C.
