The Scottish philosopher David Hume (1711-1776) is widely regarded as the greatest and most significant English-speaking philosopher and often seen as having had the most influence on the way philosophy is practiced today in the West. His reputation is based not only on the quality of his philosophical thought but also on the breadth and scope of his writings, which ranged over metaphysics, epistemology, morals, politics, religion, and aesthetics. The Handbook's 38 newly commissioned chapters are divided into six parts: Central Themes; Metaphysics and Epistemology; Passion, Morality and Politics; Aesthetics, History, and Economics; Religion; Hume and the Enlightenment; and After Hume. The volume also features an introduction from editor Paul Russell and a chapter on Hume's biography.
The Oxford Handbook of Hume, edited by Paul Russell, is an impressive collection of essays on the philosophical accomplishments and legacies of David Hume. In total 38 articles provide over 800 pages of first-rate Hume scholarship ... This collection is impressively comprehensive in its overview of Hume scholarship, and as such is an excellent and arguably essential addition to the library of anyone with a serious interest in the philosophy of David Hume. * Katie Paxman, Journal of Scottish Philosophy *
An impressive recent addition to the Hume literature is the Oxford Handbook of Hume, edited by Paul Russell. The term "handbook" belies its heft; at over 800 pages, and weighing over 3 pounds, it is a battleship of current scholarly thinking on Hume ... the Oxford Handbook will provide a fine reference source both for Hume's thought, and for current thinking about Hume's thought. As Hume literature has grown, a volume such as this may be particularly useful ... [a] timely and useful book. * Gregory Todd, Metapsychology Online Reviews *
