Few figures in the history of Western thought have provoked as much enduring debate as David Hume, and this authoritative anthology brings together some of the finest philosophical minds to grapple with his legacy. Part of the acclaimed Modern Studies in Philosophy series, this collection presents a curated selection of critical essays that rigorously examine Hume's empiricist epistemology, his sceptical arguments concerning causation and personal identity, and his groundbreaking contributions to moral philosophy and the philosophy of religion. Edited by V.C. Chappell, the volume draws on contributions from leading twentieth-century philosophers who illuminate, challenge, and extend Hume's most provocative ideas with analytical precision and scholarly depth. The collection serves as both an invaluable introduction for students encountering Hume's thought and an essential reference for seasoned scholars — situating his work within the broader tradition of British Empiricism while underscoring its radical implications for contemporary philosophy. Whether one approaches Hume as a destroyer of metaphysics or as the architect of a new science of human nature, these essays ensure the debate remains very much alive.
