Description
Section information text: This class is dedicated to central questions and texts in the philosophy of David Hume. His philosophical proposals earned him labels like "rebel," "sceptic," "infidel," and "heretic." But at the same time his successors showed great interest in his views. Questions discussed might include the following: Can science give us certainty? Is suicide moral? Do we have a right to political rebellion? Can religion be rational? Can we argue about beauty? For the exact texts and questions on the schedule for a given semester please see the philosophy department website and/or the instructor's website and feel free to get in touch with questions.
