Hume
The Cambridge Companion to Hume's Treatise
Revered for his contributions to empiricism, skepticism and ethics, David Hume remains one of the most important figures in the history of Western philosophy. His first and broadest work, A Treatise of Human Nature (1739–40), comprises three volumes, concerning the understanding, the passions and morals. He develops a naturalist and empiricist program, illustrating that the mind operates through the association of impressions and ideas. This Comp…
Hume’s True Scepticism
David Hume is famous as a sceptical philosopher, but the nature of his scepticism is difficult to pin down. This book provides the first sustained interpretation of Part 4 of Book 1 of Hume’s Treatise—his deepest engagement with sceptical arguments. He notes there that while reason shows that we ought not to believe the verdicts of reason or the senses, we do so nonetheless. The book argues that Hume uses our reactions to the sceptical arguments …
Hellenistic and Early Modern Philosophy
Early modern philosophers looked for inspiration to the later ancient thinkers when they rebelled against the dominant Platonic and Aristotelian traditions. The impact of the Hellenistic philosophers (principally the Stoics, Epicureans and Skeptics) on such philosophers as Descartes, Leibniz, Spinoza and Locke was profound and is ripe for reassessment. This collection of essays offers precisely that. Leading historians of philosophy explore the c…

Bioethics and the Problem of Pluralism
The state that we inhabit plays a significant role in shaping our lives. For not only do its institutions constrain the kinds of lives we can lead, but it also claims the right to punish us if our choices take us beyond what it deems to be appropriate limits. Political philosophers have traditionally tried to justify the state's power by appealing to their preferred theories of justice, as articulated in complex and wide-ranging moral theories—ut…
Hume's Reflections on the Identity and Simplicity of Mind 1
The article presents a new interpretation of Hume's treatment of personal identity, and his later rejection of it in the “Appendix” to the Treatise. Hume's project, on this interpretation, is to explain beliefs about persons that arise primarily within philosophical projects, not in everyday life. the belief in the identity and simplicity of the mind as a bundle of perceptions is an abstruse belief, not one held by the “vulgar” who rarely turn th…
Hume's Reflections on the Identity and Simplicity of Mind
Questioning Bioethics Aids, Sexual Ethics, and the Duty to Warn
Bioethicists have virtually assumed that Tarasoff generated a duty to warn the sexual partners of an HIV-positive man that they risked infection. Yet given the views of sex and of AIDS that have evolved in the gay community, in many cases the parallels to Tarasoff do not hold. Bioethicists should at the least attend to the community's views, and indeed should go beyond doing mere "professional ethics" to participate in the moral self-exploration …

Scepticism About Persons in Book II of Hume's Treatise
Scepticism About Persons in Book II of Hume's Treatise Donald C. Ainslie Book ii of Hume's Treatise—especially its first two Parts on the "indirect passions" of pride, humility, love, and hatred—has mystified many of its interpreters.1 Hume clearly thinks these passions are important: Not only does he devote more space to them than to his treatment of causation, but in the "Abstract" to the Treatise, he tells us that Book II "contains opinions th…
