Editorial Review Product Description David Hume (1711-1776) is perhaps best known for his treatises on problems of epistemology, skepticism, and causation. A less familiar side of his intellectual output is his work on legal and political theory. David Hume's Political Theory brings together Hume's diverse writings on law and government, collected and examined with a view to revealing the philosopher's coherent and persuasive theory of politics. Through close textual analysis, Neil McArthur suggests that the key to Hume's political theory lies in its distinction between barbarous and civilized government. Throughout the study, the author explores Hume's argument that a society's progress from barbarism to civilization depends on the legal and political system by which it is governed. Ultimately, McArthur demonstrates that the skepticism apparent in much of Hume's work does not necessarily tie him to a strict conservative ideology; rather, Hume's political theory is seen to emphasize many liberal virtues as well. Based on a new conception of Hume's political philosophy, this is a groundbreaking work and a welcome addition to the existing literature. |

When Whigs and Tories really mattered Bertrand Russell, in his history of philosophy, jokingly accuses Hume of preferring Scots to Englishmen, and Tories to Whigs, with some injustice. The dismal, intolerant and conceited fanaticism of the lowland Scots Presbyterians is a particular target of Hume's invective and mockery, and the Scots Highlanders (with the Irish) are usually dismissed as barbarians. On the other hand, possibly the only two characters to appear in a heroic light in the entire six volumes are William Wallace ("Braveheart") and James Graham, marquise of Montrose, dashing royalist general of the English Civil War. While he certainly deplores the usurpations of Cromwell, whom he paints with bold, vivid and unflattering strokes, Hume is also clearly in favor of quite limited executive (ie, royal) power, and writes as a man of history, not of party.
History for scholars of history and literature
Entertaining & Learned -- quite difficult to put down With a careful and seemingly fair hand, Hume describes the clashes between the barons and King John, as evolved into the Magna Charta; the first appearance of the house ofCommons; the subjection of Wales, the attempts to subdue Scotland, withportraits of Robert Bruce & Braveheart William Wallace; the expulsionof the Jews; the charter to dig coal in Newcastle; the Hundred Years' War,with smart sketches of its major conflicts; the first appearance of thetitle of "duke"; the conflict between the Yorks and Lancasters,in the War of the Roses; the myth of Joan of Arc is described, &Richard, earl of Warwick, the Kingmaker, the last baron to overawe thecrown, is portrayed; and, among the last episodes of the volume, theusurpation of the crown by the earl of Glocester, later Richard III, uncleto the heirs of the throne, who has the little princes committed to theTower, and then strangled. Richard meets his just rewards at the battle ofBosworth, where he is slain. A wonderful read, covering a period betweenthe first appearances of national government and the age when it begins tosolidify, in forms that we might recognize today. The turbulence of theDark and Middle Ages becomes enlightened as we approach the Renaissance.
Lucid but concise -- covers 1,200 years Hume speaks lucidly of the manners, customs, and religiousbeliefs of the periods he covers, as well as their evolution throughtime. A fascinating read for anyone interested in early English history! ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Hume’s Political Discourses (1752) won immediate acclaim and positioned him as an authoritative figure on the subject of political economy. This volume of thirteen new essays definitively establishes the central place of political economy in Hume’s intellectual endeavor, as well as the profound and far-reaching influence of his theories on Enlightenment discourse and practice. A major strength of this collection is that the contributors come from a diverse set of fields – philosophy, economics, political science, history and literature. This promotes a comprehensive reading of Hume’s political economy, taking into account his entire set of writings and correspondence, in a way that captures his polymathic genius. Hume’s analyses of trade and commerce not only delve into the institutions of money and markets, but also human agency, the role of reason and the passions, manners and social mores. Hume sought general principles but also concrete applications, whether he grappled with the problem ofeconomic development (Scotland and Ireland), with the debates on luxury consumption (France), or with the mounting public debt (England). This book is a key resource for students and researchers in the areas of economic and political philosophy, history of economic and political theory, and the history of ideas. |

Editorial Review Product Description Hume's view, set forth in his essay "Of Miracles," has been widely thought to be correct. Johnson reviews Hume's thesis with clarity and elegance and considers the arguments of some of the most prominent defenders of Hume's case against miracles. According to Johnson, the Humean argument on this topic is entirely without merit, its purported cogency being simply a philosophical myth. Customer Reviews (3)
Completely unconvincing
A masterful critique of Hume's argument against miracles and religious testimony
Hume's Miracle of Rhetoric Johnson himself accepts that various biblical miracles actually occurred, but one need not be a believer to take his point. And his point is that if we are allowed to take all our knowledge into account (that's the bit about holism), it would be very strange if a purely philosophical argument could show that NO testimony could possibly make it reasonable to believe in a miracle. When you think about it, this is a rather modest conclusion. It's similar to the conclusion that John Earman arrives at in _Hume's Abject Failure_, though Earman's issues and arguments are more technical. Indeed, one is inclined to apply Hume's own slogan and say that a those who accept the Humean view ought to be conscious of a continuing miracle in their own persons, persuading them to accept something contrary to philosophical good sense, if not to custom and experience. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (1)
Covers the period 1485 - 1558 AD In this period, we learnhow Henry VII formed close alliances with Ferdinand of Aragon, the wealthyprince of Spain, whose daughter, the Infanta Catherine, at 18 years of age,was first betrothed to the future king's elder brother Arthur (16 yearsold); but when Arthur dies, Henry, not wishing to return the dowry of200,000 ducats, dumps Catherine onto his younger son, the future Henry VIII(who is 12 at this time). This fact alone might have caused much of theresentment toward the queen, whom Henry later divorced. These incidents,the "divorce" of the monarch, the break with Rome, the tightropewalked by Henry between catholicism and the Lutheran principles, thegrowing power and wealth of Spain, the rivalries and jealousies betweenthat nation and England and France; the growth and spread of protestantreform; Henry's absolute control over the government, his arbitrary andruthless rule over the people, who esteemed him highly; his death, and theaccession of Edward VI, and later, Mary, who reversed the policies of herfather, and married Philip II of Spain, a catholic monarch; and Mary'sdeath, and the succession of Elizabeth, close the volume. As this volumebecomes more particular than its predecessors, and covers a period oflittle more than 70 years, its detail somewhat hampers the flow of events,whereas the first two volumes were more general. Still, an excellent workof history, and a very good read. ... Read more |
