Hume the Sociable Iconoclast
Though each of its four constituent essays has received scholarly attention in itself, Hume’s Four Dissertations (1757) has received virtually no consideration from scholars as a unified whole. This article offers such an assessment, and argues that two crucially Humean themes link the four texts. First, they show the applicability of Hume’s theory of the passions to a wide range of questions: to the philosophy of religion, to psychology, and to …
Hume's Dissertation on the Passions
Hume's Dissertation on the Passions JOHN IMMERWAHR IN HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY, "My Own Life," Hume recounted the disappointing reception of his first work, the Treatise of Human Nature. While Hume himself came to accept the public's negative judgment on the Treatise, he always remained convinced that his lack of success "proceeded more from the manner than the matter."' He explained that he tried to revive the thinking of the Treatise by recas…

This revision, which was mistakenly o…

Despite other studies showing a lack of political tolerance, the pub…

According to of these interpretations the paradox concerns relative motion, and according to the other it concerns indivisible magnitudes. In what follows I will argue that there are good reasons for rejecting both interpretations, and I offer an alternative which does not encounter the problems of either of the usual interpretations. According to th…
