Custom and Reason in Hume: by Henry Allison

Custom and Reason in Hume: by Henry Allison
Custom and Reason in Hume: by Henry Allison
In this book, Henry Allison, one of the world’s foremost Kant scholars,
presents a detailed study of the central epistemological and metaphysical
theories of the Treatise. Following the first book of Hume’s early masterpiece
almost section by section, page by page, Allison dedicates chapters not
only to the much discussed issues of causation, induction, scepticism, and
personal identity, but also to Hume’s often neglected views on space and
time and to his unforgiving history of philosophy. But the unique interest
of Allison’s book does not lie in its diligence in this respect; rather it lies in
the book’s constant Kantian refrain, a refrain that provides an unrelenting
critical perspective from which to assess Hume’s theoretical philosophy.

Abstract

In this book, Henry Allison, one of the world’s foremost Kant scholars,
presents a detailed study of the central epistemological and metaphysical
theories of the Treatise. Following the first book of Hume’s early masterpiece
almost section by section, page by page, Allison dedicates chapters not
only to the much discussed issues of causation, induction, scepticism, and
personal identity, but also to Hume’s often neglected views on space and
time and to his unforgiving history of philosophy. But the unique interest
of Allison’s book does not lie in its diligence in this respect; rather it lies in
the book’s constant Kantian refrain, a refrain that provides an unrelenting
critical perspective from which to assess Hume’s theoretical philosophy.
