Philosophy for busy people. Read a succinct account of the philosophy of Hume in just one hour.
Hume reduced philosophy to ruins, denying the existence of everything except our actual perceptions themselves. The world is nothing more than part of my consciousness. Yet we know the world remains, and we go on as before. What Hume expressed was the status of our knowledge about the world – a world in which neither religion nor science is certain.
Here is a concise, expert account of Hume’s life and philosophical ideas – entertainingly written and easy to understand. Also included are selections from Hume’s work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Hume in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.

    Our insensibility before the composition of the body seems to natural reason a proof of a like state after dissolution.

    Errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous.

    Hume’s extreme brand of empiricism may have been destructive of philosophy and religion, but it was to clear the way for a brave new world. Here there would be no straitjacket of tradition, the old certainties could be questioned, nothing was sacred any more – except the truth, and this was available to everyone through experience. Implicit in Hume’s philosophy was a belief in existential self-responsibility. From here it was but a short step to a belief in progress, democracy, and science – the shibboleths of our age.
