In a Strange Country
Hume argues that priests feign knowledge of the strange theological country they supposedly represent and so are hypocrites, conceited because they think themselves better than the multitude whose minds they fill with superstitions and keep in ignorance to encourage their veneration as envoys from God. They thus work against the public interest in having an informed and educated citizenry. The nub of his concern, as he wrote in Dialogues Concerni…
Digital privacy
In 1963, Chief Justice Earl Warren called the 'fantastic advances in the field of electronic communication' a danger to the privacy of the individual. If we use the privacy torts as developed in American law --- intrusion, disclosure, false light, appropriation --- we can see how dangerous those advances have been regarding our privacy. We will see how readily so many can do so much more to invade the privacy of so many more. We will also see a t…
James Harris, Hume
Hume the Moral Historian
Hume was accused of partiality as soon as the first volume of his Histories reached the public. No better test can be found for whether he was partial than by looking at how he writes of Queen Elizabeth I. If his history is biased, we would expect her sex to make a difference to the history.

Hume's Scepticism
Since Norman Kemp Smith's 1905 article on "The Naturalism of Hume," there have been two competing theories on the general nature and import of Hume's philosophy. One is that which Kemp Smith attributes to a long line of English and Scottish philosophers, including his target there, Thomas Hill Green. That theory is that "Hume has no set of positive beliefs, and merely develops to a sceptical conclusion the principles which he inherits from Locke …
