About this ebook

Why do we expect the future to resemble the past, and how should we act when certainty is unavailable? This original English guide to David Hume follows impressions, habit, induction, causation, personal identity, passions, moral sentiment, justice, and religious argument. Eighteen chapters distinguish Hume's early Treatise from the later Enquiries, explain objections without reducing skepticism to disbelief, and confront his racist footnote in Of National Characters. Invented modern examples, a working glossary, annotated sources, and a chapter-to-source map help readers test each argument. A critical introduction, not a text by Hume or a copied translation.
