- This 150-page monograph is the first ever book-length treatment of Hume’s philosophy of action. Consisting of 7 article-length chapters, it brings together seemingly disparate aspects of Hume’s work to present an understanding of action that is much richer than previously assumed. Described as ‘an innovative and much needed contribution to current Hume scholarship’ and ‘an essential piece of reading not only for anyone working on Hume…but also for scholars in contemporary philosophy of action’, the book situates Hume’s views on action within a wider vision of our human understanding of personal identity, causation, freedom, historical explanation, and morality.
