Publisher's Synopsis
This major new work forms the first part of an important new series, Early Responses to Hume's Writings, a collection of 18th and 19th-century critical publications on Hume's philosophical, political, economic and historical writings. The themes of the two volumes printed here are the replies to Hume's moral philosophy, and literary and political essays. Selections are edited, annotated and introduced by Hume scholar James Fieser, editor and founder of two web sites, the Hume Archives and the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Many of the selections have not been reprinted since their original publication and are inaccessible to many scholars worldwide. Fully self-contained these two volumes will be a major contribution towards understanding Hume and eighteenth-century philosophy and thought.
