Hume's Philosophy of Belief (Routledge Revivals)

Focusing on Hume's first Inquiry, this book examines it as a standalone work, distinct from his other writings like the Treatise and the Dialogues. It emphasizes Hume's desire to be evaluated based on his mature works, using his other texts only as supplementary evidence. The analysis provides a fresh perspective on Hume's philosophical contributions, allowing readers to appreciate the significance of the Inquiry in the context of his overall body of work.
