Hume and the Demands of Philosophy: Science, Skepticism, and Moderation

Lanham: Lexington Books (2022)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

This book argues that Hume is a radical epistemic skeptic who gives only practical reasons for retaining belief in sensory beliefs and the deliverances of reason. He advises us to take a moderate approach to the demands of philosophy, since they sometimes diverge from the demands of life.
