"The Routledge philosophy guidebooks introduce students to the classic works of philosophy. Each guidebook considers a major philosopher and a key area of their philosophy by focusing upon an important text situating the philosopher and the work in a historical context, considering the text in question and assessing the philosophers contribution to contemporary thought. David Hume was one of the most important British philosophers of the 18th century. The first part of his ""Treatise on Human Nature"" is a seminal work in philosophy. ""Hume on Knowledge"" introduces and assesses: Hume's life and the background of the ""Treatise""; the ideas and text in the ""Treatise""; and Hume's continuing importance to philosophy."

Reviews for Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to Hume on Knowledge

'A clear, comprehensive, and accurate account of Hume's epistemological positions' - International Philosophical Quarterly The writing is exceptionally clear throughout, and I doubt very much that the average undergraduate will struggle to understand Noonan's exposition. This is of course precisely what one wants from an introduction such as this Noonan's discussion is judicious, pleasingly non-traditional and well illustrated, and I strongly encourage teachers to set it as essential reading. - Mind David Hume would approve of this book As a guide to Hume on knowledge it will be invaluable to undergraduates, useful to graduate studies, and of serious interest to the professional philosopher. - Philosophical Books Strikes just the right balance of solid authoritative introduction and fine philosophical discernment. Highly recommended for both beginners and specialists in the field. - The Philosopher's Magazine Noonan's writing is admirably crisp and pellucid. TLS
