Shepherd's Foundational Principles
Mary Shepherd concludes An Essay upon the Relation of Cause and Effect – described in its subtitle as ‘Controverting the Doctrine of Mr. Hume’ – by listing several principles about causation as ‘the only true foundation of scientific research, of practical knowledge, and of belief in a creating and presiding Deity’. As it happens, Hume accepts each of these principles, at least as formulated. He also agrees that they are foundational – at least f…
Hume e o senso de probabilidade
Na psicologia cognitiva de David Hume, o conceito de PROBABILIDADE faz parte de uma família de sensoconceitos que também incluem os conceitos de AZUL, SAGACIDADE, BELO, VIRTUDE e CAUSA. Cada um deles é obtido através (i) da ativação de uma sensibilidade primitiva, (ii) da consequente formação de uma "ideia abstrata", (iii) da adoção de um "padrão de juízo" juntamente com "regras para o julgar"; e da atribuição de relações inferenciais. O desenvol…
The First Motive to Justice
"Justice" is David Hume's most common term for respect for property. On John Locke Locke's view, the obligation to respect property is an original moral obligation imposed through a divinely instituted natural law that exists prior to and independent of human conventions. This chapter considers whether Hume does allow that there is a first virtuous motive to justice other than a sense of duty or whether he denies it. It also considers whether he …
Hume
Beginning with an overview of Hume's life and work, Don Garrett introduces in clear and accessible style the central aspects of Hume's thought. These include Hume's lifelong exploration of the human mind; his theories of inductive inference and causation; skepticism and personal identity; moral and political philosophy; aesthetics; and philosophy of religion. The final chapter considers the influence and legacy of Hume's thought today. Throughout…
Leibniz, God, and Necessity
Spinoza and German Idealism
There can be little doubt that without Spinoza, German Idealism would have been just as impossible as it would have been without Kant. Yet the precise nature of Spinoza's influence on the German Idealists has hardly been studied in detail. This volume of essays by leading scholars sheds light on how the appropriation of Spinoza by Fichte, Schelling and Hegel grew out of the reception of his philosophy by, among others, Lessing, Mendelssohn, Jacob…
What's True about Hume's ‘True Religion’
Despite his well-known criticisms of popular religion, Hume refers in seemingly complimentary terms to ‘true religion’; in Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, his character Philo goes so far as to express ‘veneration for’ it. This paper addresses three questions. First, did Hume himself really approve of something that he called ‘true religion’? Second, what did he mean by calling it ‘true’? Third, what did he take it to be? By appeal to some …

The literary arts in Hume's science of the fancy
Philosophers have long disagreed about whether poetry, drama, and other literary arts are important to philosophy; and among those who believe that they are important, explanations of that importance have differed greatly. This paper aims to explain and illustrate some of the reasons why Hume found literature to be an important topic for philosophy and philosophers. Philosophy, he holds, can help to explain general and specific literary phenomena…

Representation and the Mind-Body Problem in Spinoza
Cognition and Commibnent in Hume’s Philosophy
It is widely believed that Hume often wrote carelessly and contradicted himself, and that no unified, sound philosophy emerges from his writings. Don Garrett demonstrates that such criticisms of Hume are without basis. Offering fresh and trenchant solutions to longstanding problems in Hume studies, Garrett's penetrating analysis also makes clear the continuing relevance of Hume's philosophy
Cognition and Commitment in Hume's Philosophy
There exists alongside the celebration of Hume's work for its philosophical brilliance and elegance of style considerable disagreement over the meaning of Hume's most famous doctrines, the precise nature of his philosophical greatness, and the value of his contributions for contemporary philosophy. A series of interpretive difficulties has led some to accuse the work of contradiction and disunity. In this vigorous new study, Don Garrett takes up …
Behind the Geometrical Method
This book is the fruit of twenty-five years of study of Spinoza by the editor and translator of a new and widely acclaimed edition of Spinoza's collected works. Based on three lectures delivered at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1984, the work provides a useful focal point for continued discussion of the relationship between Descartes and Spinoza, while also serving as a readable and relatively brief but substantial introduction to the Eth…

Hume's Self-Doubts about Personal Identity
In spite of much recent discussion, there is a notable lack of agreement concerning the merits of Hume's account of personal identity, the reasons for his dissatisfaction with it, and the philosophical moral to be drawn from that dissatisfaction. Consensus is lacking, I believe, because none of the explanations for his second thoughts offered to date has succeeded in describing a problem that Hume would or should have found so disturbing. After b…

Representation and the Mind-Body Problem in Spinoza
Spinoza's "Ontological" Argument
J reposition XI of Part I of Spinoza's Ethics is the claim that 'God or substance consisting of infinite attributes, each of which expresses eternal and infinite essence, necessarily exists. Spinoza employs four proofs to establish this important proposition, but it is far from obvious how they are to be construed. Almost the only point on which commentators agree is that the proofs include an ontological argument-and even in this, I believe, the…
